AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF BERNARDSTON TO CONTINUE THE EMPLOYMENT OF FIRE CHIEF PETER SHEDD
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, Peter Shedd, chief of the Bernardston fire department, may continue to serve in such position until Peter Shedd reaches 70 years of age, retires or is not reappointed, whichever occurs first; provided, however, Peter Shedd is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of such position. The select board of the town of Bernardston may require Peter Shedd to be examined by an impartial physician to determine such capability.

Upon retirement, Peter Shedd shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to that which Peter Shedd would have been entitled had Peter Shedd retired upon reaching the age of 65.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
