H 4268 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to authorize the Wrentham Select Board to remove the position of lieutenant of the town of Wrentham Police Department from the requirements of M.G.L. Ch. 31

HD 4903 would exempt the position of police lieutenant in Wrentham from Massachusetts' civil service requirements under Chapter 31 of the General Laws. This means the town's Select Board could fill the role without following standard civil service hiring processes, such as competitive exams or merit-based appointments. Current holders of the position would retain their civil service status under Section 2 of the bill. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
