An Act authorizing the city of Newburyport to continue the employment of police officer Charles Vorderis.

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, Charles Vorderis, Police Officer of the City of Newburyport, may continue to serve in that position until reaching age 70, the date of his retirement, or the date he is relieved of his duties, by the Mayor of the City of Newburyport at his discretion, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of his office. The Mayor may, at the City's own expense, require that Charles Vorderis be examined annually by a physician designated by the Mayor, to determine such physical and mental capability to perform the duties of his office.

Upon retirement, Charles Vorderis shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired upon his sixty- fifth (65th) birthday.

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