For legislation relative to corrections officers injured in the line of duty. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 111F of Chapter 41 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which pertains to public employees injured in the line of duty, to explicitly include correction officers employed by a county or the state. This means that state and county correction officers, when injured while performing their duties, will now be covered under the provisions of this law, which likely provides for compensation or benefits for such injuries, similar to other public service officers.
