Summary

The bill changes Alaska law so that firefighters and peace officers who leave work because of a disability receive 40% of their last monthly salary at first, then 75% after the first year. It also makes them immediately fully vested in employer retirement contributions and requires the state to keep contributing to their individual accounts while they receive benefits. The changes take effect right away.
