An Act directing the city of Boston police department to waive the maximum age requirement for police officers for Luisa Fernandes
This bill waives the Boston Police Department's standard maximum age requirement for Luisa Fernandes' original appointment as a police officer. If she meets all other department requirements, she becomes eligible for certification to join the force. The bill specifically targets one individual and does not create a general policy change for other applicants. It is a targeted exception, not a broad legislative amendment.
