H 5429: An Act providing injured on duty compensation to Chelmsford firefighter Nicholas Spinale

This bill grants injured Chelmsford firefighter Nicholas Spinale paid leave without loss of salary, effective retroactively to April 7, 2026, for the time he is unable to work due to injuries sustained on that date. The legislation ensures he does not have to waive his rights to workers' compensation benefits, though any leave pay received will be reduced by the amount of workers' compensation he collects. If his injuries are permanent, the bill allows him to apply for accidental disability retirement with a specific pension amount and provides continued benefits to his surviving spouse if he dies before age 65. Additionally, the state agrees to reimburse the town of Chelmsford for all costs related to his medical treatment and injury leave.
