AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 61.702 and 78.5536 to ensure that members of the Kentucky Employees Retirement System (KERS) and the County Employees Retirement System (CERS) who suffer a "hazardous disability" (a disability resulting from an act in the line of duty) receive full hospital and medical insurance benefits for themselves, their spouses, and their dependents. This change aims to provide enhanced support for public safety officers who are injured or become disabled while serving the Commonwealth, and the bill includes an emergency clause to allow it to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
