SF 3412 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Peace officer and firefighter duty disability benefits including employer providing of health insurance coverage to peace office time period limitations provision, peace officer or firefighter waiving the right to continued health insurance coverage prohibition provision, and attorney fees limitations provision

This bill modifies health insurance coverage rules for peace officers and firefighters receiving duty disability benefits. It requires employers to provide health insurance for the officer or firefighter and their dependents for three years (or until age 65, whichever comes first), and prohibits these individuals from waiving their right to continued coverage as part of any settlement. The bill also limits attorney fees in related disputes. These provisions directly affect disabled public safety personnel who qualify for duty disability benefits and their employers.
