Bill > H2772

This bill amends Section 58 of Chapter 30 of the Massachusetts General Laws to provide additional protection for probation officers by expanding the circumstances under which they can receive compensation for injuries sustained in the line of duty. Specifically, the bill adds language that allows probation officers to receive compensation if they are injured as a result of acts of violence committed against them while performing their official duties. This modification appears to recognize the potential risks faced by probation officers in their work and ensures they have financial protection if they are physically harmed during the course of their professional responsibilities. By inserting this specific language into the existing law, the bill aims to provide clearer legal grounds for probation officers to seek compensation for injuries directly related to violent incidents that occur during their work.
