An Act authorizing the town of Colrain to continue the employment of fire department chief Nicholas Anzuoni
This bill allows Colrain's fire department chief, Nicholas Anzuoni, to continue serving beyond the standard retirement age. It permits him to stay in his role until age 70, retirement, or if he loses physical/mental capacity (verified by a town-paid medical exam). The bill also prevents salary deductions after age 65 and guarantees retirement benefits as if he had retired at 65. It applies solely to Nicholas Anzuoni in Colrain, not to other fire departments or general rules.
