An Act relative to legacy firefighters

This bill creates a "Legacy Firefighter" honorific title for Massachusetts firefighters with 20+ years of service, including those medically retired before reaching 20 years. To qualify, firefighters must apply with a notarized Certificate of Service verifying their service length and clean department conduct record. Recipients receive a Department-issued certificate, a campaign ribbon or insignia, and a medallion placed at their burial site upon death. The bill directly affects eligible current and retired Massachusetts firefighters who meet the service and conduct requirements.
