An Act authorizing the town of Deerfield to continue the employment of police officer Gary Sibilia.

 

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 any general or special law to the contrary, Gary Sibilia, a police officer with the police department of the town of Deerfield, may continue in such position until the date of his retirement or he is relieved of his duties, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that Gary Sibilia is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of the position. The town may require, at its own expense, that Gary Sibilia be examined by an impartial physician designated by the town to determine his capacity. No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of Gary Sibilia pursuant to chapter 32 of the General Laws and upon retirement Gary Sibilia shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired upon reaching the age of 65.

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