Bill > H3885

This bill, relative to special police officers in the city of Newton, authorizes the city to appoint retired police officers as special police officers, allowing them to serve until they reach the age of 70, even if they would otherwise be restricted by maximum age limits for regular police officers. It also clarifies that these special police officers will be subject to certain provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, specifically sections 100 and 111F of chapter 41, which relate to their pay and benefits, with calculations for payments under section 111F based on their earnings as special police officers and capped by limitations found in chapter 32 of the General Laws. Importantly, these special police officers will not be subject to or eligible for benefits under sections 85H or 85H 1/2 of chapter 32.
