CHAPTER 240 AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE STATE-BOSTON RETIREMENT SYSTEM TO RETIRE RUSSELL F. FISHER, A POLICE OFFICER OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, and in order to promote the public good, the State-Boston retirement system is hereby authorized and directed to retire Russell F. Fisher, a police officer of the city of Boston, who as a result of injuries sustained while in the performance of his duties as a police officer is totally and permanently incapacitated for further service as a police officer. The annual amount of pension payable said Russell F. Fisher under this act shall be fixed in an amount equal to the regular rate of compensation which he would have been paid had he continued in service as a police officer of said city at the grade held by him at the time of his retirement. Such retirement shall become effective as of the date following the last day on which he received regular compensation. Upon such retirement, the State-Boston retirement system shall forthwith pay to him the amount credited to him as accumulated total deductions in the annuity savings.

SECTION 2. Russell F. Fisher shall be entitled to receive such indemnification for all hospital, medical and related expenses that have been or may be, incurred after the date of his retirement as a result of the injuries sustained by him while in the performance of his duties, under the provisions of chapter forty-one of the General Laws.

SECTION 3. Upon the death of Russell F. Fisher, leaving Catherine S. Fisher, his wife surviving him, the State-Boston retirement system shall pay to her so long as she remains unmarried, an annuity in the amount of three-fourths of the amount of the pension payable to him, per month at the time of his death. If said Catherine S. Fisher remarries, the city of Boston shall pay, in lieu of the aforesaid annuity to her, an annuity of five hundred and twenty dollars per month to her.

SECTION 4. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

Approved November 25, 1992.
