PUBLIC EMPLOYEE DISABILITY

Summary

The bill amends the Public Employee Disability Act so that any eligible state, local, or public‑college employee who is injured or becomes ill while on duty continues to receive their full gross salary, including pensionable pay, and keeps accruing sick leave, vacation and other credits for up to one year. It adds a 60‑day COVID‑19 recovery extension, bars the employee from taking other work, and lets the employer recover costs from third‑party lawsuits. The measure covers correction officers, law‑enforcement, firefighters, paramedics and other listed public workers.
