Bill > H2987

This bill provides a specific exemption to typical civil service age restrictions for Brittany Sproule, allowing her to take the firefighter examination for the City of Haverhill despite being over the standard maximum age limit. The legislation creates a unique opportunity for Sproule to be considered for a firefighter position, provided she meets all other qualifying requirements for the job. By using language that specifically overrides existing general or special laws, rules, or regulations regarding age limits for firefighter applicants, the bill creates a personalized pathway for Sproule to potentially join the Haverhill Fire Department. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and if Sproule successfully passes the examination and meets all other professional standards, she would be eligible for certification and appointment to the city's fire department. This type of individualized legislative action is sometimes used to provide relief from broad regulatory constraints in specific, meritorious cases.
