Increases PFRS accidental disability pension when disability is caused by weapon.
This bill increases retirement benefits for New Jersey police and fire personnel who suffer disabilities caused by weapons while on duty. It changes the accidental disability pension from 2/3 of a member's salary to 100% of their annual compensation when the disability results from weapon use. The amendment specifically applies to members of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS) and requires the disability to be directly linked to weapon-related incidents during service. This adjustment provides higher financial support compared to the current standard for weapon-related injuries.
