AI Summary

This bill is a specific piece of legislation that provides a unique exception to the standard age requirements for police officer recruitment in Boston for an individual named Angela C. Depina. The bill directs the Boston Police Department to waive the maximum age limit for Angela C. Depina's original appointment as a police officer, despite existing laws or regulations that might otherwise prevent her from applying. If Depina meets all other qualifications and requirements set by the Boston Police Department, she will be eligible to have her name considered for the police officer position. This type of legislation is known as a "special act" or "private bill," which creates a specific exemption for an individual rather than changing the law broadly. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, allowing Depina to proceed with her application without being disqualified by age restrictions that would typically prevent her from becoming a police officer.
