An Act authorizing the town of Northfield to continue the employment of Floyd Dunnell, III

This bill allows the town of Northfield to keep its fire chief, Floyd Dunnell, III, employed until August 13, 2025, or until he retires or is not reappointed, whichever happens first. To ensure he can still perform his job duties, the town must pay for an impartial doctor to examine him and confirm he is mentally and physically capable of serving. Additionally, the law prevents any deductions from his salary that would normally be made for retirement or pension purposes. The measure applies only to this specific town and individual, taking effect immediately upon approval.
