Increases PFRS accidental disability and accidental death pension when disability or death is caused by weapon.

This bill increases pension benefits for New Jersey police and firefighters (members of the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System) who suffer accidental disability or death caused by a weapon while on duty. Specifically, it raises the accidental disability pension from 66% to 100% of the member’s annual compensation at the time of injury, and adjusts the death benefit calculation for weapon-related deaths. The change applies only when the injury or death results directly from a weapon (as defined in state law), not other types of accidents. This amendment modifies existing pension formulas without changing eligibility requirements.
