Bill > H4390

This bill provides a special exemption for Nick Santos from the standard age restrictions for becoming a police officer in the city of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Typically, civil service positions like police officers have maximum age limits to ensure physical fitness and career longevity, but this legislation would allow Santos to take the civil service examination and potentially be appointed to the police department regardless of exceeding the usual age cutoff. Specifically, the bill states that if Santos meets all other qualifications for becoming a police officer, he shall be eligible for certification and appointment to the Haverhill Police Department, despite any existing laws, rules, or regulations that would normally prevent him from doing so due to his age. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, and it appears to be a narrow, individual-specific piece of legislation designed to provide Santos a unique opportunity to pursue a career in law enforcement.
