An Act relative to disability pensions for violent crimes

This bill creates a new disability pension for public safety workers injured by violent attacks while performing their duties. It defines "violent act injury" as serious permanent harm from attacks using weapons like firearms or knives, and directly affects firefighters (including volunteers/reserves), police officers (part-time/reserve), and emergency medical personnel. Key provisions include a monthly pension equal to 100% of the worker's pre-injury salary, a lump-sum payment for accumulated retirement deductions, and survivor benefits (75% of the pension) for spouses or children if the injury caused death. The pension applies only to injuries sustained during job duties, with specific eligibility requirements for application and medical certification.
