The bill titled "An Act relative to the continued employment of firefighters in the town of Egremont" proposes to allow call firefighters, volunteer firefighters, and fire engineers in Egremont to continue their service beyond the mandatory retirement age of 65, as specified in section 1 of chapter 32 of the General Laws and chapter 415 of the acts of 1987. The bill stipulates that these individuals may serve until their actual retirement or non-reappointment, provided they are mentally and physically capable of performing their duties. Additionally, the town may require a fitness examination by an impartial physician at the employee's expense to ensure their capability to continue in service.

Furthermore, the bill states that no deductions will be made from the regular compensation of these firefighters or fire engineers for any service performed after reaching the age of 65 for retirement or pension purposes. This legislation aims to provide flexibility for the town of Egremont in retaining experienced firefighters while ensuring that they are fit for duty. The act will take effect upon its passage.
