Bill Summary

Authorizing the Berkshire County Retirement System to retire Chad Shimmon, a uniformed member of the town of Great Barrington Police Department

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Berkshire County Retirement System to retire Chad Shimmon, a uniformed member of the Town of Great Barrington Police Department, who was permanently disabled as a result of injuries sustained while on duty in July 2019. It sets the annual pension amount Shimmon will receive, provides for indemnification of his medical expenses, and grants him a lump sum payment of his accumulated retirement deductions upon retirement. If Shimmon is married, his spouse will receive an annuity of 75% of his pension upon his death. The retirement is subject to approval by a medical panel, but the public employee retirement administration commission may waive this requirement if Shimmon is already receiving a disability benefit.
