Bill > H4267

This bill is a specific piece of legislation that creates a special exemption for Constantinos Papadopoulos to become a police officer in the Boston Police Department, despite being over the maximum age limit for original appointments. Typically, police departments have age restrictions for new officer recruitment to ensure physical fitness and career longevity, but this bill would allow Mr. Papadopoulos to bypass the existing age requirement if he meets all other qualifications set by the department. The legislation overrides any previous laws or regulations that would normally prevent someone of his age from being appointed as a police officer, specifically chapter 43 of the acts of 2007. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning that once signed into law, the Boston Police Department would be required to consider Papadopoulos's application without regard to his age, provided he satisfies all other professional and physical standards for becoming a police officer.
