Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize the appointment of Matthew Cummings as a police officer in the city of Boston, notwithstanding the maximum age requirement. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill allows Matthew Cummings to be appointed as a police officer in the City of Boston, even if he is older than the usual maximum age limit for new police officers. It specifically states that the Boston Police Department must waive this age requirement for him, provided he meets all other qualifications for the job. This is a special provision, meaning it overrides any general or specific laws that would normally prevent someone of his age from becoming a police officer. The bill also includes a standard clause stating that if any part of the law is found to be invalid, the rest of the law will still be in effect, and it takes effect immediately upon being passed.
