Bill > H7157

This bill removes the definition of "totally and permanently disabled" from a state law that provides free college tuition to the spouses and children of active police officers who are killed or become disabled in the line of duty. Previously, "totally and permanently disabled" meant an impairment that made it impossible for an officer to continuously hold a paying job. This change means that the specific definition of what constitutes "totally and permanently disabled" will no longer be part of this tuition benefit law, though the benefit itself for those killed or disabled in the line of duty remains. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
