The bill, titled "An Act directing the department of state police to waive the maximum age requirement for Jonathan Lewis," seeks to allow Jonathan Lewis to be eligible for appointment as a uniformed member of the Massachusetts state police despite exceeding the maximum age limit. The legislation explicitly states that, notwithstanding section 10 of chapter 22C of the General Laws or any other laws to the contrary, Lewis will be eligible for certification and appointment if he meets all other requirements for the position.

This bill is classified as an emergency law, indicating that its immediate enactment is necessary for the public convenience. The urgency is underscored by the assertion that delaying the operation of the act would defeat its purpose, which is to facilitate Lewis's appointment to the state police without the constraints of the age requirement.
