HD 802 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to police officers and firefighters relative to Chapter 41, Section 111F

This bill changes how time off is handled for police officers and firefighters who receive accidental disability retirement under Chapter 32. It specifically applies to those whose retirement isn't based on presumptions in Sections 94, 94A, or 94B of Chapter 32. The bill requires that any absence from duty due to the condition causing the retirement be treated as approved leave retroactively, if they hadn't already been granted such leave. This ensures they receive retroactive pay and any related personnel adjustments as if they had been on approved leave during that time.
