Bill > S27

This bill is a specific piece of legislation that would direct the Boston Police Department to make an exception to its standard maximum age requirement for police officer recruitment, specifically for an individual named Antonio Pires. The bill would allow Pires to be eligible for original appointment as a police officer if he meets all other requirements set by the department, despite being beyond the typical age limit. The legislation includes a severability clause, which means that if any part of the bill is found to be unconstitutional, the rest of the bill would remain valid, and it would take effect immediately upon passage. By creating this individual exemption, the bill represents a rare type of targeted legislation that provides a personalized pathway for a specific person to pursue a career in law enforcement, overriding general age restrictions that might otherwise prevent his employment with the Boston Police Department.
