Modifies provisions relating to supplemental workers' compensation insurance for volunteer firefighters
HB 1191 allows volunteer fire departments, counties, municipalities, and eligible groups (like regional fire associations) to purchase supplemental workers' compensation insurance for volunteer firefighters injured on duty. This supplemental coverage would pay benefits beyond standard statutory amounts, including temporary total disability payments. Eligible entities may fund this coverage using non-earmarked tax revenue or other available funds. The bill does not change existing workers' compensation benefits but provides an optional funding mechanism for additional coverage.
