Bill > H3827

This bill allows the city of Everett to retire police officer Michael Marchese, who is totally and permanently injured from his duties, at a pension amount equivalent to what he would have earned had he continued working as an Everett police officer. This special provision overrides existing general laws regarding retirement and is enacted to promote the public good. Upon his death, his surviving wife will receive three-fourths of his pension as long as she remains unmarried, along with additional payments for each child under eighteen or incapacitated from working. If his wife remarries, the full pension amount will then be directed to the children under the same age or incapacity conditions.
