Bill Summary

That the city of Boston be authorized to appoint Robert J. Butts, III a police officer in said city, notwithstanding the maximum age requirement. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill allows the City of Boston Police Department to bypass its standard maximum age limit for hiring new police officers specifically for an individual named Robert J. Butts, III. This means that if Mr. Butts meets all other qualifications and requirements set by the Boston Police Department, he can be considered for appointment as a police officer even if he is older than the usual age cutoff. The bill overrides any existing laws that might prevent this, including a specific law from 2007, and takes effect immediately upon being passed.
