An Act regarding the disability pension of Christopher Taylor

H 4902 would increase the disability pension for Christopher Taylor, a retired Saugus police officer injured in 2020 while on duty, to match the salary he would have earned had he remained an active officer. The bill requires the Saugus retirement board to pay him this full amount (plus cover medical expenses related to his injury), allow him to earn half his pension without penalty, and provide survivor benefits to his spouse and children if he dies. It overrides standard pension rules to specifically address Taylor's case, including funding through the Saugus retirement board. This is a personal bill for one individual, not a general policy change.
