Bill Summary

Relative to non-membership service in public safety for certain uniformed members of paid fire or police departments. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing laws to provide an exemption for certain uniformed firefighters and police officers who are not members of a retirement system. Specifically, these non-retirement system public safety personnel will be exempt from previous restrictions (section 2 of chapter 415 of the acts of 1987) and will be allowed to continue working, but with a mandatory retirement age of 72. The bill requires local approval, meaning it will only take effect if the local legislative body (city council or town meeting) votes to adopt it. This provides flexibility for municipalities to decide whether to extend employment opportunities for non-retirement system public safety personnel beyond previous age limitations, while still maintaining an ultimate age cap at 72 years old.
