An Act relative to injured correctional officers

HD 3745 ensures that county correctional officers injured on duty (due to prisoner/patient actions) receive additional pay beyond standard workers' compensation. Specifically, they get the difference between their regular weekly salary and the workers' compensation benefits they qualify for. This extra payment applies even for injuries requiring less than eight days off, and the absence doesn't count against their available sick leave. The bill directly affects correctional officers in county jails or houses of correction who sustain work-related injuries.
