An Act authorizing the town of Lanesborough to continue the employment of Daniel Bolognia, Charles Garrity, Peter Pannesco, Peter Oakley, David Rolle, Donald Whalen and Michael Wooliver

This bill authorizes the town of Lanesborough to continue employing seven specific firefighters past the standard retirement age of 65 until they reach 70. Under the new rules, these individuals may remain on the job only if they are mentally and physically capable of performing their duties, a condition the town can verify through medical examinations. The legislation also ensures that these firefighters will not have their pension benefits reduced due to their extended service and will receive the same retirement allowance they would have earned at age 65. Additionally, the act clarifies that this extension does not protect the firefighters from being removed or suspended if they violate applicable laws or town regulations.
