Bill > S1830

This bill provides a specific exemption to standard retirement age restrictions for Herbert A. Chaffee, II, a member of the Brookfield fire department. The legislation allows Chaffee to continue serving in his current position until February 23, 2030, or until he is retired or relieved of duties by the town's select board, whichever occurs first, with the critical condition that he remains mentally and physically capable of performing his job duties. The town of Brookfield is authorized to have Chaffee examined by an impartial physician at the town's expense to verify his fitness for continued service. Additionally, the bill specifies that no further retirement fund deductions will be made from Chaffee's compensation after age 65, and upon retirement, he will receive a superannuation retirement allowance equivalent to what he would have been entitled to had he retired at the standard age. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and represents a local, special legislation tailored specifically to Chaffee's employment situation, which requires an exception to general municipal employment age restrictions.
