Bill > H4561

This bill allows the mayor of the City of Newton to appoint retired Newton firefighters to perform fire details and dispatch duties in the city's Emergency Communications Center. The retired firefighters, known as the Newton Retired Fire Fighters Detail and Dispatch Patrol, can serve until they reach the age of 70 or until they are relieved of their duties, whichever occurs first. The bill exempts these retired firefighters from certain state laws and city ordinances, and it outlines the rules and regulations they must follow, including restrictions on the type of duties they can perform, medical examinations, training requirements, and uniform and equipment standards. The bill also provides details on the workweek, workers' compensation, and earnings limitations for the retired firefighters. The act will be in effect until June 1, 2030.
