The bill, presented by Russell E. Holmes, seeks to direct the Boston Police Department to waive the maximum age requirement for police officer appointments specifically for an individual named Jose Ortiz. This legislation overrides any existing laws, including chapter 43 of the acts of 2007, that may impose such age restrictions. If Ortiz fulfills all other qualifications established by the Boston police department, he will be eligible for certification for original appointment as a police officer.

The bill emphasizes the unique consideration for Jose Ortiz, allowing him to pursue a career in law enforcement despite the age limitation typically enforced. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, indicating a sense of urgency in addressing Ortiz's situation.
