An Act authorizing the state retirement board to retire Richard D'Auria, a University of Massachusetts police officer disabled by cardiac disease, under the provisions of the "Heart Law"

This bill directs the Massachusetts State Retirement Board to grant a mandatory retirement to Richard D'Auria, a University of Massachusetts police officer. The legislation applies because D'Auria has suffered a cardiac disability while performing his official duties, which renders him unable to carry out essential police responsibilities. By invoking the state's "Heart Law," the bill ensures his retirement is processed under specific provisions designed for officers disabled by heart conditions. This action secures his retirement benefits without requiring him to continue working despite his medical incapacitation.
