Bill Summary

By Representative Vargas of Haverhill, a petition of Andres X. Vargas (with the approval of the mayor and city council) that Kenneth Navarro be authorized to take the civil service examination for the position of fire fighter in the city of Haverhill notwithstanding the maximum age requirement. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill provides a specific legal exemption for Kenneth Navarro to take the civil service examination and potentially be appointed as a fire fighter in the city of Haverhill, Massachusetts, despite being over the typical maximum age requirement for such positions. The legislation specifically overrides any existing laws, rules, or regulations that normally restrict fire fighter applicants based on age, allowing Navarro to be considered for the position if he meets all other qualification standards. By granting this individual exception, the bill enables Navarro to pursue employment as a fire fighter in Haverhill, provided he satisfies all other professional requirements for the role. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, and it appears to have received local approval from the mayor and city council, as indicated in the government summary.
