An Act directing the city of Boston Police Department to waive the maximum age requirement for police officers for Chris Glaropoulos

This bill waives the standard maximum age requirement for Chris Glaropoulos to be appointed as a police officer with the Boston Police Department. It directly affects only Chris Glaropoulos, allowing him to be considered for the position if he meets all other department requirements. The bill specifically directs the city to bypass the age limit set by existing law for his original appointment. It does not change general hiring rules for other applicants. The waiver applies solely to this individual's case.
