Bill > S2368

This bill amends existing law to include probation officers and parole officers within the definition of "police officer" for the purpose of receiving salary and benefits if they become ill or are injured while performing their duties. This change ensures that these officers, like other law enforcement personnel already covered, will continue to receive their regular pay and have medical expenses covered during periods of incapacitation due to line-of-duty incidents. The bill also specifies that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
