An Act authorizing the town of Charlemont to continue the employment of fire department member Dennis Annear
This bill authorizes the town of Charlemont to allow fire department member Dennis Annear to continue working until he turns 68, retires, or is removed from his position, whichever happens first. The law requires that Annear remain physically and mentally capable of performing his duties, with the town responsible for paying for a medical exam to verify this capability if requested. Additionally, the bill ensures that Annear will not have any deductions made from his regular pay for the time he works under this new arrangement.
