Bill Summary
Relative to line-of-duty related mental impairment of municipal police department employees. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a presumption that a mental impairment diagnosed in a municipal police department employee is an occupational disease due to the nature of their employment, unless the employer or insurer can provide substantial factors to rebut this presumption. This presumption aims to help police officers who develop mental health issues as a result of their work duties, without having been previously diagnosed with a mental impairment. The bill excludes mental impairments that result from certain employment actions taken in good faith by the employer, such as disciplinary actions or job changes.
