AI Summary

This bill aims to expand line of duty injury benefits for public employees in Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to amend the existing law to provide benefits to public employees who receive bodily injuries from acts of violence by civilians present on the grounds of correctional institutions or state public health or human services facilities. This change would broaden the scope of the existing law, which currently covers injuries sustained while in the custody of law enforcement or corrections officers.
