Bill > H4525

This bill authorizes Michael Habel, a police officer in the town of Conway, to continue serving in his current position beyond the typical mandatory retirement age, with specific conditions. The bill allows Habel to serve until he reaches 70 years old, or until his retirement or non-reappointment, whichever occurs first, provided he remains mentally and physically capable of performing his job duties. The Conway select board is permitted to require annual medical examinations at the town's expense to assess his fitness for duty. Habel must maintain his certification with the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission and comply with all required training mandates. Additionally, no further retirement or pension-related deductions will be made from his compensation after he turns 65. The bill is a specific local measure that provides an exception to standard retirement regulations, allowing Habel to continue serving as a police officer beyond the typical age limit, subject to ongoing performance and health evaluations.
