An Act relative to the maintenance of pre-employment physical examination records for public safety personnel in the city of Quincy
Maddy summaryThis bill requires the City of Quincy Retirement Board to apply specific legal presumptions regarding pre-employment physical exams for public safety personnel (like police and firefighters) seeking accidental disability retirement. If the city cannot locate a member's physical exam record, the member or employer may submit a signed affidavit stating the exam was completed and did not reveal the disabling condition they now claim. This affidavit would then serve as valid proof that the member met the physical requirements for employment. The policy change directly affects Quincy public safety workers applying for disability retirement when their original exam records are missing.
