An Act authorizing the City of Westfield to establish an age limit for original appointment to the position of firefighter

HD 4922 sets a 40-year age limit for new firefighter hires in Westfield, requiring applicants to be under 40 on the date of the entrance exam. It directly affects job applicants seeking entry-level firefighter positions in the city. The bill overrides existing state law (Chapter 31, Section 58A) that might otherwise allow older candidates to be certified. This policy change applies only to initial appointments, not current firefighters or promotions.
