Establishes criteria for designating firefighters with 20 years of service as "Legacy Firefighters" in Massachusetts.
The bill amends Chapter 48 of the General Laws to recognize firefighters who have completed twenty years of service within the state of Massachusetts as "Legacy Firefighters." This includes firefighters who retire early due to medical reasons. To qualify, firefighters must apply and provide a notarized "Certificate of Service" verifying their years of service and clean conduct record. Recipients receive a certificate, a campaign ribbon, and a medallion for their final resting place.
