POLICE/STATE: Provides relative to occupational diseases for the division of state police (EN INCREASE SG EX See Note)
This bill modifies the requirements for health monitoring for members of the Division of State Police who are exposed to occupational hazards. It removes the mandate for annual examinations and replaces it with a requirement for medical and audiological checks to occur every five years. These changes directly affect the frequency of health screenings provided to state police officers but do not alter the requirement that such screenings take place.
