H 4236 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the town of Northfield to continue the employment of Floyd Dunnell, III

This bill extends the employment of Floyd Dunnell III, Northfield's fire chief, beyond standard retirement age limits. It allows him to continue serving until August 13, 2026 (age 73), or until retirement/non-reappointment, whichever occurs first, provided he passes a town-paid medical exam confirming his fitness. The bill also prohibits deductions from his salary for retirement or pension purposes under Chapter 32 of the General Laws. This is a specific personnel extension for one individual, not a broad policy change.
