The bill titled "An Act authorizing the town of Natick to continue the employment of Police Chief James Hicks beyond the age of 65" allows Police Chief James Hicks to extend his service until the age of 67, or until he is relieved of his duties by the Select Board, whichever comes first. This extension is contingent upon his mental and physical capability to perform his duties, which will be assessed annually by a physician designated by the Select Board at the town's expense.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no further deductions will be made from Hicks' regular compensation under chapter 32 of the General Laws for the period he serves beyond age 65. Upon his eventual retirement for superannuation, he will receive a retirement allowance equivalent to what he would have received had he retired at age 65. The bill is declared an emergency law, emphasizing the immediate need for its enactment to ensure public safety.
