An Act authorizing the city of Somerville to continue the employment of Charles J. Femino as acting chief of police

This bill allows Charles J. Femino to continue serving as the acting police chief of Somerville until a permanent chief is hired, he is removed by the mayor, or he turns sixty-eight. The legislation permits the mayor to require a medical exam to ensure Femino remains physically and mentally capable of performing his duties. Additionally, the act prevents further deductions from his salary after age 65 and ensures he receives his full retirement benefits once he resumes them.
