Bill H.5428

SECTION I. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, Brian Lauzon, Deputy Police Chief of the Town of Natick, may continue to serve in that position until reaching age 67, the date of his retirement, or the date he is relieved of his duties by the Select Board at their discretion, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that he is mentally and physically capable of performing the duties of Deputy Police Chief. The Select Board may, at the Town's own expense, require that Brian Lauzon be examined annually by a physician designated by the Select Board, to determine such physical and mental capability to perform the duties of his office.

No further deductions shall be made from the regular compensation of Brian Lauzon, pursuant to chapter 32 of the General Laws for service subsequent to his reaching age 65; and upon retirement for superannuation, he shall receive a superannuation retirement allowance equal to the allowance that he would have been entitled had he retired upon reaching age 65.
