HD 6041 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act exempting the positions of police chief and deputy police chief in the city of Medford from the civil service law

This bill removes the police chief and deputy police chief positions in the city of Medford from the state's civil service law. By exempting these roles, the city will no longer need to follow civil service hiring and promotion rules for these specific leadership positions. The legislation ensures that any current officers holding these positions retain their existing civil service protections. The changes become effective immediately once the bill is passed.
