AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF NATICK TO CONTINUE THE EMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICER JOHN HASWELL
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, John Haswell, police officer of the town of Natick, may continue to serve in such position until reaching age 68, the date of his retirement or the date he is relieved of his duties by the select board at their discretion, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of a police officer. The select board may, at the town's own expense, require that John Haswell be examined annually by a physician designated by the select board, to determine such physical and mental capability to perform the duties of his office.
No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of John Haswell, pursuant to chapter 32 of the General Laws, for service subsequent to his reaching age 65. Upon retirement for superannuation, he shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to the allowance to which he would have been entitled had he retired upon reaching age 65.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
Approved, October 9, 2024.
