An Act expanding access to the civil service examination

This bill (HD 331) waives all costs for civil service examinations for applicants aged 18 or younger. It also updates age requirements for firefighter and police officer exams: applicants must be at least 17 by the application deadline and 18 by the exam date, and must be 21 years old to be appointed as a police officer. These changes directly affect young people seeking entry-level government jobs in firefighting or policing. The bill modifies existing civil service rules to lower financial barriers and clarify age eligibility thresholds for these positions.
