An Act authorizing the town of Warwick to continue the employment of David A. Shoemaker as police chief until a maximum age of 70
This bill allows the town of Warwick to keep David A. Shoemaker as its police chief until he turns 70, rather than retiring at the standard age of 65. The law permits the town to require a medical exam at its own cost to ensure he remains mentally and physically able to do his job. Additionally, it prevents any further deductions from his salary and ensures he receives a full retirement benefit upon reaching 70, matching what he would have gotten at age 65.
