An Act authorizing the town of Chesterfield to continue the employment of police chief Gary Wickland.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, Gary Wickland, Chief of the police department of the town of Chesterfield, may continue to serve in such position until June 30, 2015, until the date of his retirement, or until the date he is relieved of his duties by the selectboard, whichever occurs first; provided that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of his office. The selectboard may, at its own expense, require that Gary Wickland be examined by an impartial physician to determine such capacity. No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of Gary Wickland under chapter 32 of the General Laws for any service subsequent to March 31, 2014, and upon retirement, he shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired on that date.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
