Bill > H4389

This bill provides a specific exemption to age restrictions for Angel G. Rivera, allowing him to take the civil service examination and potentially be appointed as a police officer in the Boston Police Department despite exceeding the typical maximum age limit. The legislation directs the Boston Police Department to waive its standard maximum age requirement for original police officer appointments specifically for Angel G. Rivera, provided that he meets all other qualifying requirements set by the department. The bill effectively creates a one-time, individual exception to existing age restrictions, which would normally prevent someone from becoming a police officer after reaching a certain age. The provisions of the bill would go into effect immediately upon passage, meaning that as soon as the bill is signed into law, Rivera would be eligible to proceed with his application process. This type of narrowly focused legislative action, often called a "special law," is designed to address a unique circumstance for a specific individual by temporarily suspending a general regulatory requirement.
