Bill Summary

That the city of Boston be authorized to appoint Jean E. Roseney a police officer notwithstanding the maximum age requirement. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill directs the City of Boston Police Department to make an exception to its standard maximum age requirement for police officer recruitment, specifically for an individual named Jean E. Roseney. The legislation would allow Roseney to be considered for an original police officer appointment despite potentially being older than the typical age limit for new recruits. If Roseney meets all other professional requirements set by the Boston Police Department, he would be eligible to have his name certified for the police officer position. The bill effectively creates a one-time waiver of the age restriction for this specific individual, overriding previous legal provisions that might have prevented his application. The act would take effect immediately upon its passage, providing Roseney with an immediate opportunity to pursue a career in law enforcement that would otherwise have been blocked by age restrictions.
