Bill > H4254

This bill seeks to create a specific exemption for Rodney Alcindor from the Boston Police Department's standard maximum age requirement for original police officer appointments. Typically, police departments have age limits for new officer recruitment to ensure physical fitness and long-term career potential, but this legislation would specifically allow Rodney Alcindor to be considered for a police officer position regardless of his age, provided he meets all other requirements set by the department. The bill overrides any existing general or special laws that might otherwise prevent his appointment, including a specific reference to Chapter 43 of the Acts of 2007, which likely contained previous age restriction provisions. If Alcindor satisfies all other qualifications established by the Boston Police Department, he will be eligible to have his name certified for the police officer position. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, creating a targeted, individual exemption to the standard age restrictions for police officer recruitment in Boston.
