An Act relative to public higher education campus police officers injured in the line of duty
This bill amends Massachusetts law to include campus police officers employed by state universities, colleges, and community colleges in the definition of public safety officers injured in the line of duty. By adding these officers to the existing list, the legislation ensures they are eligible for the same disability benefits and protections currently available to other public safety personnel. The change directly affects law enforcement staff working on public higher education campuses who may be injured while performing their official duties.
