Bill > H4742

This bill provides a special exception to standard retirement regulations for Gary L. Thomann, the police chief of Pelham, allowing him to continue serving in his position until May 17, 2032, or until he is no longer capable of performing his duties. The bill specifies that the select board can require an independent medical examination at their expense to verify his fitness for duty. Notably, after May 31, 2027, no additional pension deductions will be made from his compensation, and upon retirement, he will receive a superannuation retirement allowance calculated as if he had retired on May 31, 2027. This legislation effectively creates a personalized provision that extends Thomann's employment beyond typical retirement age while ensuring his continued competence through potential medical assessments. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing a legal framework for Thomann to continue serving as Pelham's police chief under specific conditions.
