AI Summary

This bill removes the age restriction for veterans applying to be police officers or firefighters in Massachusetts. Currently, no person can be appointed as a police officer or firefighter if they have reached their 32nd birthday, but this bill exempts veterans who have not exceeded the maximum age for original enlistment in the U.S. Armed Forces, which is 35 years old. This change aims to provide more opportunities for veterans to pursue careers in public safety roles.
