MINOR

This bill was amended to expand its scope from benefiting a single individual to creating a general eligibility program for former police officers. The amendment changes the legislation from a personal appointment for one specific officer to a broader policy allowing multiple former officers to apply for the position.

Scope change

The bill changed from a specific appointment for one named individual to a general eligibility program for all former full-time police officers born between 1985 and 1990.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed from a single named individual (Richard Ernyey) to a general class of former full-time police officers born between January 1, 1985 and January 1, 1990.

Added a birth year range requirement (1985-1990) that was not present in the original version.

Changed language from singular ('Richard Ernyey') to plural ('any former full-time police officer') to reflect the expanded group of eligible candidates.
