HD 4899 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

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

This bill (HD 4899) waives the Boston Police Department's standard maximum age requirement for Constantinos Papadopoulos to be hired as a new police officer. It specifically applies only to Papadopoulos, requiring the department to certify him for appointment if he meets all other hiring criteria. The bill does not change general hiring rules for other applicants, as it is a targeted exception for one individual. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
