AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR THE MARLBOROUGH FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE TOWN OF MARLBOROUGH.

SB 161 authorizes the state to issue up to $35,000 in bonds specifically to fund the Marlborough Fire Department in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The funds, managed through the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, will provide a grant-in-aid to cover equipment purchases and infrastructure projects for the fire department. This bill directly affects the Marlborough Fire Department by providing targeted financial support for operational needs. The key mechanism is the state bond authorization, capped at $35,000, with proceeds dedicated solely to the department's approved projects.
