The bill titled "An Act authorizing the town of Monterey to continue the employment of police officer Jennifer O. Brown" allows Officer Jennifer O. Brown to remain in her position until she reaches the age of 70, despite any existing laws that may contradict this provision. The bill stipulates that her continued employment is contingent upon her mental and physical capability to perform her duties, and she will remain in her role subject to the approval of the appointing authority. Additionally, the appointing authority has the right to require her to undergo an examination by the Berkshire County Retirement System to assess her fitness for continued service.
Furthermore, the bill mandates that deductions from Officer Brown's compensation will continue under chapter 32 of the General Laws for any service she performs between the ages of 65 and 70. Upon her retirement, she will be entitled to a superannuation allowance or a veteran's pension allowance based on her total years of creditable service, including the time worked between ages 65 and 70. If she is found unfit for continued service by an impartial physician, she will be retired for superannuation but will not be considered disabled under chapter 32.
