Increases PFRS accidental disability pension when disability is caused by weapon.
This bill increases the accidental disability pension for New Jersey police and fire retirees who become permanently disabled due to a weapon injury. Currently, they receive 66% of their final compensation; the bill raises this to 100% of their final compensation (or adjusted final compensation, whichever is larger). The pension will continue to adjust annually until the retiree reaches age 65, after which it will be 80% of the adjusted final compensation. This change applies specifically to weapon-caused disabilities under the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS).
