H 3998 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act authorizing the town of Holliston to continue the employment of Mark Dellicker as deputy fire chief until a maximum age of 70

This bill allows the town of Holliston to keep Mark Dellicker employed as its deputy fire chief past the standard retirement age of 65, extending his service until he reaches 70. The law specifically exempts Dellicker from usual age limits and ensures he does not lose any retirement or pension benefits for working after turning 65. By overriding existing state laws on this matter, the legislation grants the town the authority to retain his services based on a local vote.
