Bill > S2583

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of State Police to waive the maximum age requirement specifically for Jonathan Lewis, allowing him to be eligible for appointment as a uniformed member of the state police. Normally, there are age restrictions for becoming a state police officer, but this legislation creates a special exception for Lewis, enabling him to be considered for the position if he meets all other professional requirements. The bill is characterized as an emergency law, which means it is intended to take effect immediately to preserve "public convenience," suggesting there is some urgency or unique circumstances surrounding Lewis's potential appointment. By using language like "notwithstanding" any existing laws that might otherwise prevent his application, the bill provides a targeted, individual exemption to standard age limitation policies for law enforcement recruitment.
