An Act exempting the certain individual from the age restrictions for police officers.

 

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, the chief of the police department of the town of Wrentham, William McGrath, may continue to serve in such position until reaching the age 70, until the date of his retirement or until the date he is relieved of his duties by the town administrator of the town of Wrentham at their discretion, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of his office. The town administrator may, at the town's own expense, require that William McGrath be examined by an impartial physician designated by the town administrator to determine such capability.

SECTION 2. No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of William McGrath under chapter 32 of the General Laws for any service subsequent to William McGrath reaching age 65 and upon retirement, he shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which he would have been entitled had he retired upon reaching age 65.

SECTION 3. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
