Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how accidental disability and death pensions are calculated for members of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System. If a member is permanently disabled or dies due to an injury from a weapon on or after the bill's effective date, their pension benefits will increase. The bill also adjusts how "final compensation" is calculated for these pensions, allowing it to increase with active members' pay scales until the member would have turned 65.
