Make certain injured paramedics and emergency medical technicians eligible for continued health insurance coverage
This bill expands health insurance coverage for injured paramedics and emergency medical technicians in Minnesota who are disabled in the line of duty. It amends existing state statutes to include these first responders alongside peace officers and firefighters, ensuring their employers continue paying for health coverage for them and their dependents. The coverage duration depends on the type of disability benefits received, lasting until age 65 for those with total and permanent disability or for up to 60 months for others. The legislation also establishes a formal process for determining eligibility and allows for administrative review if the initial decision is contested.
