A 5091 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases PFRS accidental disability pension when disability is caused by weapon.

This bill increases the accidental disability pension for New Jersey police and fire personnel (PFRS members) injured by weapons. If a member is permanently disabled due to a weapon-related injury while on duty, their pension will rise from 66% to 100% of their final annual compensation. The pension continues to adjust annually until the member would have turned 65, after which it becomes 80% of the adjusted final compensation. This change applies specifically to weapon-caused disabilities, not other accidental injuries.
