Bill Summary

For legislation relative to age restrictions for veterans applying to be police officers and firefighters. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to exempt veterans from age restrictions for original appointments as police officers or firefighters. Specifically, the bill states that notwithstanding the general age limit of 32 years old for these positions, veterans who have not exceeded the maximum age for original enlistment in the U.S. Armed Forces (which is currently 35 years old) will be exempt from this age restriction. This change allows veterans to apply for these public safety roles regardless of their age, provided they meet the other eligibility requirements.
