§3225. Members from fire departments; qualification; physical examination
Immediately after July 2, 1973 the board of trustees shall cause any member it so chooses of the fire department to be examined by a physician selected and paid for by the board. Only those firemen requested by the board to be examined and whom said physician certifies to the board as being both physically and mentally fully qualified to completely fulfill the duties of a fire fighter shall become members of the pension and relief fund. Such medical examination shall be of a full and complete nature and any fireman who fails to so qualify shall not be entitled to benefits hereunder but may remain a member of any other pension, retirement, or disability fund as to which he is presently a member.
All such medical examinations shall be concluded within three months of July 2, 1973 and of those persons examined, both the names of those who qualify and those who do not qualify will be made a part of the permanent records of the board. All new employees of the fire department, before being entitled to benefits hereunder shall be likewise certified.
