Provides accidental disability benefits to police who contract COVID-19 under certain circumstances.

This bill provides accidental disability benefits to police officers who permanently and totally became disabled from contracting COVID-19 between June 5, 2021, and January 31, 2022. To qualify, officers must have contracted the virus while working at their place of employment (not at home) and the disability must be directly caused by the illness. The benefits apply retroactively from June 5, 2021, and do not affect existing rights to other benefits under state law. It specifically covers police officers, not other public safety workers, during that defined pandemic period.
