AI Summary

This bill aims to amend Section 111F of Chapter 41 of the Massachusetts General Laws to provide that any absence from duty caused by the condition that resulted in an accidental disability retirement for a police officer or firefighter, if the retirement is not based on certain presumptions in Chapter 32, shall be regarded as leave under Section 111F. If the officer or firefighter was not previously granted such leave, it will be retroactively granted, and the employer must take any necessary pay or personnel actions to implement the retroactive leave.
