What’s in it

AI summary Law enforcement officers and firefighters, such as police, sheriffs, and airport fire crews, would no longer have a mandatory age when they must stop working. While the state-wide age limit is removed, individual cities and agencies still have the power to set their own maximum age rules for their employees.1

Read the official explanation

This bill eliminates the maximum employment age of years for an airport fire fighter, a peace officer in the department of public safety, a peace officer in the department of transportation, a peace officer for an aviation authority, a peace officer in the department of natural resources, a deputy county sheriff, and a city police officer, marshal, or fire fighter. The bill authorizes a city to establish a maximum employment age of years or higher for a police officer, marshal, or fire fighter and does not otherwise prohibit any entity employing law enforcement officers or fire fighters from implementing intra-agency age limits. Code chapter 400 provides employment guidelines for certain civil service positions, including certain police officers and fire fighters. Under current law, the Code chapter applies only to police officers and fire fighters who are under years of age. The bill strikes the age limitation. _____ The bill takes effect upon enactment.
