An Act regarding the continued employment of a certain employee of the town of Oxford
This bill allows Craig Gagner, a police officer in the Town of Oxford, to continue working in his current role until he turns 68 or is relieved of duty, whichever happens first. It grants him the right to receive a retirement benefit equivalent to what he would have earned had he retired at age 65, while also permitting the town to pay for a medical exam to ensure he remains physically and mentally capable of performing his duties. The law applies retroactively from October 31, 2023, and prevents any further deductions from his salary under existing state statutes.
