Provides temporary disability benefits for special law enforcement officers.

This bill requires local governments in New Jersey to provide temporary disability benefits to special law enforcement officers (appointed under P.L.1985, c.439) without needing to formally elect coverage. It directly affects these officers and their local employers, ensuring automatic eligibility for benefits under the Temporary Disability Benefits Law. The key change eliminates the previous requirement for local entities to voluntarily opt into coverage for these specific officers. This aligns with existing rules for state employees but applies specifically to local special law enforcement officers.
