Bill > H3928

This bill directs the Boston Police Department to make an exception to its standard maximum age requirement specifically for Adam Watt, allowing him to be considered for a police officer position despite potentially being older than the department's typical age limit for new recruits. The legislation overrides any existing general or special laws that might normally prevent someone from being appointed as a police officer due to age restrictions. If Adam Watt meets all other professional and qualification standards set by the Boston Police Department, he will be eligible to have his name certified for an original appointment as a police officer. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, which means the age waiver would be granted as soon as the legislation is signed into law. This type of individually targeted legislative action, sometimes called a "special act" or "individual relief bill," is occasionally used to address unique circumstances that fall outside standard regulatory frameworks.
