Bill Summary

Relative to injury disability retirement application for firefighters. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow firefighters to apply for injury disability retirement if the disabling condition was diagnosed within two years prior to the filing of the application, rather than requiring the disability to have occurred within that timeframe. This change aims to provide more flexibility and support for firefighters who may have developed a disabling condition over time, rather than from a specific incident.
