The law waives the Boston Police maximum age limit for Doumy Pamera. It applies only to him. He must still meet all other Boston Police hiring rules, like exams, medical checks, training, and background checks. If he qualifies, the department can certify his name for original appointment as a police officer. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
