Bill > S1907

This bill directs the Boston Police Department to make a specific exception to its standard maximum age requirement for police officer recruitment, specifically for an individual named Cherell Mellace. The legislation would allow Mellace to be considered for an original appointment as a police officer despite being over the typical age limit, provided he meets all other qualification standards set by the department. The bill overrides any existing general or special laws that might otherwise prevent such an appointment, including provisions in Chapter 43 of the Acts of 2007. If Mellace meets all other requirements of the Boston Police Department, he will be eligible to have his name certified for the police officer position. The bill includes a severability clause, which means that if any part of the legislation is found to be unconstitutional, the rest of the bill remains valid, and it will take effect immediately upon passage.
