HD 5087 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to provisional employees of the city of Worcester and exempting certain positions from the civil service law

This bill exempts certain temporary city positions in Worcester from standard civil service hiring rules. It specifically applies to "provisional employees" in the city of Worcester, meaning those roles would no longer require competitive exams or follow typical civil service procedures. The legislation allows the city to hire and manage these specific positions under different, non-civil service guidelines. This change directly affects Worcester city employees in the exempted roles and the city's hiring process for those positions.
