An Act regarding the disability pension for Richard Lopez
This bill directs the Boston Retirement Board to increase the accidental disability pension for retired firefighter Richard Lopez, who is permanently unable to work due to injuries sustained in 2006. The legislation establishes his annual payment at the rate he would have earned had he continued working, ensures these funds are non-taxable, and grants him medical expense coverage for injuries related to his service. Additionally, the act mandates the immediate payment of his accumulated savings and outlines specific survivor benefits for his spouse and children should he pass away.
