Bill > H4507

This bill authorizes William Pilleri, a resident of Arlington, to take the civil service examination for the position of firefighter in the town of Arlington, despite being over the maximum age limit. Typically, civil service examinations for firefighter positions have strict age restrictions to ensure candidates meet certain physical and professional standards. This bill provides a specific exemption to Chapter 31 of the General Laws (which normally governs civil service employment) to allow Pilleri to apply for the position even though he has reached the age of 32. The bill is time-limited, with its provisions set to expire on June 1, 2029, meaning Pilleri will have until that date to take the civil service examination. This type of legislation is known as a "special act" or "local bill" that creates an exception for a specific individual in a particular jurisdiction, which is not uncommon in state legislatures when unique circumstances warrant individual consideration.
