This bill authorizes Larry Mendel, a retired volunteer firefighter from the Patterson Volunteer Fire Department, to receive the length of service award he was previously denied due to record-keeping errors. The legislation ensures that Mendel's service certificates will be accepted as proof of his over 30 years of work and grants him the benefits he would have earned had the records been kept correctly. Additionally, the bill mandates that Glatfelter Specialty Benefits, which has a contract with the fire department, must cover all costs associated with implementing these provisions. The law takes effect immediately to resolve this specific administrative issue without affecting other individuals or changing broader program rules.
