An Act aligning disability pensions for violent crimes

This bill amends pension eligibility for state police officers in Group 3 who suffer permanent disabilities from violent injuries sustained while on duty. It creates a new provision (subdivision 2½) allowing these officers to qualify for disability pensions if a physician confirms their permanent incapacity due to a work-related violent act injury, without their own negligence. The state board of retirement must receive a written report from a physician examining the officer before approving the pension. This directly affects active-duty state police officers in Group 3 who are permanently disabled by violent injuries occurring during official duties.
