Bill > S08837

This bill amends the general municipal law to allow any county, at its option, to provide optional disability coverage for county probation officers, meaning these officers will receive their full salary and have their medical treatment and hospital care covered by their employer if they are injured or become sick as a direct result of performing their duties. This coverage is similar to that already provided to other public safety officials like sheriffs, police officers, and corrections officers, ensuring that probation officers who are incapacitated due to their job responsibilities are financially and medically supported until they can return to duty.
