Bill > S1703

This bill aims to provide equity to police officers disabled by cardiac disease. It proposes to amend Section 94 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to expand the definition of "public safety employee" to include police officers from the University of Massachusetts, Massachusetts Port Authority, state universities and community colleges, and the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs. This change would ensure that these police officers are eligible for the same benefits and protections as other public safety employees who are disabled by cardiac disease.
