Maddy summaryThis bill allows the town of Ware to hire permanent full-time police and fire department members who are older than the usual state-mandated age limit. The town's selectboard, town council, or other appointing authority can approve these appointments as long as the candidates meet all other civil service requirements. Essentially, it gives the town flexibility to consider older applicants for these roles without violating existing state laws.
