An Act extension for mandatory retirement

This bill extends the mandatory retirement age for George Kenneth Collette, a lieutenant in the West Brookfield fire department, to 70 years old. Under the new rules, the town may require an impartial medical examination at the fire chief's expense to ensure Collette remains mentally and physically capable of performing his duties. Additionally, the legislation prevents any further deductions from his pay after he turns 65 and guarantees he receives a full retirement allowance if he retires at age 70. The act specifies that these benefits do not apply if Collette is removed or suspended from his position for other reasons.
