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 a section of Massachusetts law to allow veterans who have not exceeded the maximum age for original enlistment in the U.S. Armed Forces to be exempt from the 32-year-old age restriction for original appointment as a firefighter or police officer. The existing law had previously set a strict 32-year-old age limit for such positions, but this bill creates an exception for qualified veterans, providing them more opportunities to serve in these public safety roles.
