Authorizes the town of Kingston to raise the maximum retirement age for special police officers to 70 years old.

Special police officers must pass a medical examination and maintain certification with the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission. They can be assigned to police details or other duties at the discretion of the chief of police. The bill repeals previous legislation on the matter and sets the new maximum retirement age at 70 years old.
