Bill > S1340

This bill proposes to amend existing law regarding age restrictions for individuals applying to become police officers and firefighters in cities, towns, or districts that accept this provision. Specifically, it removes the current age limit for these public service positions and replaces it with a new rule stating that applicants cannot have reached their thirty-second birthday on the date of the entrance examination. However, it includes an important exemption: a veteran, defined as someone who has not exceeded the maximum age for original enlistment in the U.S. Armed Forces as outlined in Title 10, Section 505(a) of the U.S. Code, will be exempt from this thirty-two-year-old age restriction.
