An Act relative to the maximum age requirement for firefighters for the town of Bedford
This bill exempts the Town of Bedford from state laws that set maximum age limits for hiring firefighters and other civil service employees. By overriding existing General Laws, the legislation allows the town to hire qualified individuals regardless of their age for these specific positions. The act ensures that current employees are not affected by this change and takes effect immediately upon passing.
