Bill > H4178

This bill provides a specific legal exemption for Adam T. Jankowski from Haverhill to take the civil service examination for the position of police officer, despite being over the typical maximum age requirement for such positions. Normally, police departments have age limits for new officer candidates to ensure physical fitness and longevity in the role, but this bill would allow Jankowski to be considered for the police officer position if he meets all other qualifying requirements for the job. The legislation is a narrowly targeted, individual-specific provision that would create a one-time exception to standard age restrictions for municipal civil service hiring. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, and its scope is limited to Jankowski's specific case in the City of Haverhill, meaning it does not change broader age restrictions for police officer recruitment across Massachusetts.
