An Act authorizing the town of Acton to increase the residency limit for members of its police and fire departments

This bill allows the town of Acton to raise the 15-mile residency requirement for its police and fire department members, as currently set by state law. The town may set a higher limit, but any increase must be agreed upon through a collective bargaining agreement with the relevant unions under state law. It directly affects Acton police and fire personnel who would no longer be required to live within the current 15-mile radius. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
