Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize Sean Duffy to take the civil service examination for the position of firefighter in the city of Haverhill notwithstanding the maximum age requirement. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill provides a specific exemption to age restrictions for Sean Duffy, allowing him to take the civil service examination and potentially be appointed as a firefighter in the city of Haverhill, Massachusetts, despite being over the typical maximum age limit for such positions. Normally, civil service positions like firefighting have strict age requirements to ensure physical fitness and capability, but this special legislation would permit Duffy to be considered for the position if he meets all other professional and physical requirements for the job. The bill would create a one-time exception to existing laws, regulations, and rules that would otherwise prevent someone of Duffy's age from becoming a firefighter, and it would take effect immediately upon passage by the state legislature.
