An Act relative to disability pensions for public safety employees who are victims of violence

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Massachusetts disability pension rules to specifically cover public safety employees who suffer serious, permanent injuries from violent attacks while on the job. It defines a "violent act injury" as harm caused by dangerous weapons like firearms, knives, or vehicles and allows these employees to retire for accidental disability if the injury prevents them from performing their essential duties. To qualify, the injury must occur within two years of the retirement application, and the employee must file a written request unless they were already injured earlier but did not report it within ninety days. The legislation requires a formal review by the retirement board and a medical panel to confirm that the injury is permanent and directly linked to the violent incident before granting pension benefits.
