AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Amherst to continue the employment of Walter (Tim) Nelson as fire chief, despite the maximum age requirement. It allows Nelson to continue in his position beyond the age of 65, provided he is mentally and physically capable of performing his duties. The town manager can require Nelson to undergo a medical examination to determine his capability. Additionally, no further deductions will be made from Nelson's compensation under the state's retirement laws, and upon retirement, he will receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to what he would have received at age 65. The bill also stipulates that its provisions do not entitle Nelson to remain in service if he is otherwise removed or suspended from office.
