An Act authorizing the town of Provincetown to continue the employment of Michael Trovato
This bill authorizes the town of Provincetown to keep firefighter Michael Trovato on the job until May 31, 2025, or until he retires or is removed from duty, whichever happens first. The law ensures that Trovato will not have his pay reduced after turning 65 and guarantees he receives the same retirement benefits he would have earned had he retired at that age. The town retains the right to have Trovato examined by a doctor to confirm he is still physically and mentally able to perform his duties.
