An Act relative to harbormasters
HD 2720 amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to explicitly include city and town employees serving as Harbormasters and Assistant Harbormasters (appointed under Chapter 102) in a specific provision. This technical amendment updates the legal definition within an existing section, directly affecting municipal harbormaster positions. The key change adds the phrase "employees of a city or town who are employed as Harbormasters and assistant Harbormasters, and appointed pursuant to chapter 102 of the General Laws" after "Cushing hospital" in the relevant law. It does not create new programs or funding but clarifies who is covered under the provision. This is a procedural update to ensure harbormasters are explicitly included in the law's scope.
