An Act relative to the maximum age requirement for original appointment as a police officer for the city of Worcester

HD 4438 sets a maximum age of 39 for initial appointment as a police officer in the City of Worcester, prohibiting certification for applicants who turn 40 on or before the entrance examination date. This bill directly affects individuals applying for new police officer positions in Worcester who are 40 or older at the time of the entrance exam. It overrides existing age requirements in Chapter 31 of the General Laws and takes effect immediately upon passage. The policy change applies solely to original appointments for Worcester's police department.
