An Act exempting the certain individual from the age restrictions for police officers
This bill exempts William McGrath, the police chief of Wrentham, from the standard age limit for police officers. It allows him to continue serving until he turns 70 or is removed from his position, provided a town-appointed physician confirms he remains mentally and physically capable of performing his duties. Additionally, the legislation ensures that no further deductions are made from his salary after age 65 and guarantees his retirement benefits will match what he would have received had he retired at 65.
