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, Edwin Zaniewski, a member of the police department of the town of Whately, may continue to serve in such position until the age of 70, the date of his retirement or non-reappointment, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of the position of police officer; and provided further, that the town may, at its own expense, require that Edwin Zaniewski be examined by an impartial physician designated by the town to determine such capability. No deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of Edwin Zaniewski pursuant to chapter 32 of the General Laws for any service subsequent to his reaching the age of 65 in connection with his service to the town for retirement or pension purposes and, upon retirement, Edwin Zaniewski shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired at age 65.

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