Bill Summary
Relative to providing for payments to injured correctional officers. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 18A of Chapter 126 of the General Laws to provide additional benefits to correctional officers who are injured while on duty. Specifically, the bill states that if a correctional officer is injured by a patient or prisoner and is entitled to workers' compensation benefits under Chapter 152, the officer shall be paid the difference between their regular salary and their workers' compensation benefits, without having the absence charged against their sick leave. This ensures that injured correctional officers receive their full salary while they recover from their work-related injuries.
