Bill > H4255

This bill directs the Boston Police Department to make an exception to its standard maximum age requirement for police officer recruitment specifically for Jonathan Telfort. Typically, police departments have age limits for initial officer appointments to ensure physical fitness and career longevity, but this legislation would allow Telfort to be considered for appointment regardless of those age restrictions. If Telfort meets all other professional and qualification standards set by the Boston Police Department, he will be eligible to have his name submitted for certification as a police officer. The bill explicitly overrides any existing general or special laws that might otherwise prevent such an age-based waiver, including provisions from Chapter 43 of the Acts of 2007. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, creating a specific, individual exception to standard police hiring age limits for this particular candidate.
