Bill > H4862

This bill allows Jennifer O. Brown, a patrol officer in the Monterey police department, to continue working past the standard retirement age until she reaches 70 years old, with certain conditions. Specifically, she must remain mentally and physically capable of performing her job duties, and her continued employment is subject to approval or potential removal by the appointing authority. The town may require her to be examined by the Berkshire County Retirement System at their own expense to assess her fitness for continued service. No further retirement contributions will be deducted from her compensation after age 65, and upon retirement, she will receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to what she would have received if she had retired at age 65. If an impartial physician determines she is not capable of continuing her service, she will be retired for superannuation but will not be considered disabled under retirement law. The bill provides a specific exception to standard retirement regulations to allow this individual police officer to continue her employment.
