Bill Summary
Relative to expenses incurred in defense against denial of benefits by incapacitated employees. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 111F of Chapter 41 of the General Laws, which pertains to benefits for certain public employees. Specifically, it allows for the reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred by an employee of a labor organization who has successfully challenged a city or town's denial of benefits under this section, provided they hired an attorney for that challenge. This means that if a city or town wrongly denies benefits to an employee covered by this law, and that employee fights the denial and wins with the help of a lawyer, they can get their legal costs back.
