Boston waives police age limit for Ryan Cazeau

The law makes the Boston Police Department waive its maximum hiring age for Ryan Cazeau. If he meets all other department hiring rules, the department must certify him for an original appointment as a police officer. This applies even if other laws, including Chapter 43 of the Acts of 2007, would normally block it. This law takes effect immediately.
