Increases the age of eligibility for provisional or permanent appointment of certain police officers from thirty-five to forty

This bill raises the maximum age for provisional or permanent appointment as certain police officers from 35 to 40 years old. It directly affects applicants seeking police positions under municipal civil service rules, particularly in cities like Buffalo. The key change modifies civil service law to increase the upper age limit for taking the written exam, while maintaining specific exceptions for military service time, Buffalo Housing Authority employees, and exhausted eligible lists. The policy change aims to expand the pool of eligible candidates for police departments without altering other merit-based requirements.
