An Act increasing the age limit for the appointment of special police officers in the city of Springfield

HD 4751 would allow the city of Springfield to raise the maximum age for appointing special police officers. The city has already received local approval (from the mayor and city council) for this change. The bill authorizes Springfield to adjust the age limit without needing new state legislation, directly affecting who can be hired for these roles. This policy change would expand the pool of eligible candidates for special police officer positions in the city.
