An Act amending the act of June 28, 1935 (P.L.477, No.193), referred to as the Enforcement Officer Disability Benefits Law, further providing for disability benefits and for definitions.
HB 1521 amends the 1935 Enforcement Officer Disability Benefits Law to clarify and update provisions for disability benefits for enforcement officers. The bill directly affects law enforcement and public safety officers, such as police and firefighters, by revising definitions used to determine eligibility for benefits. Key provisions include updated definitions that will guide how disability benefit claims are processed and approved. This change focuses on refining the legal framework for benefit administration without altering the benefit amounts.
