HD 4321 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the raising the maximum retirement age of special police officers in the Town of Kingston to 70 years old

HD 4321 raises the maximum retirement age for special police officers in Kingston to 70 years old. The bill directly affects certified special police officers appointed by the Town of Kingston's Board of Selectmen for traffic details, allowing them to serve until age 70 or until retirement/resignation/non-reappointment. Key provisions include setting 70 as the new maximum age limit (replacing previous restrictions) and granting the Board of Selectmen discretion to non-reappoint officers for any lawful reason. This change modifies the town's existing rules for special police officer appointments without altering other employment conditions.
