S.1851

Massachusetts S1851 allows public safety personnel to submit an affidavit if their physical examination records are missing.

Massachusetts S1851 amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to address the maintenance of physical examination records for public safety personnel. If an employer fails to maintain a record of a member's physical examination upon entry into service, the member or employer can submit an affidavit attesting that the examination occurred and found no disqualifying conditions. This affidavit serves as proof of the examination. The bill adds this provision to Section 94 of Chapter 32, ensuring that public safety personnel can still demonstrate their fitness for duty even when records are missing.
