MINOR

This bill version was amended to add new sponsors and update the legislative history, while also changing the critical incident paid leave entitlement from exactly 30 days to at least 20 days. The amendment also added new provisions allowing the superintendent to delay leave for officers not directly responsible for injuries, and renumbered the subsequent sections accordingly.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same (state police critical incident leave), but eligibility criteria were modified to allow for delayed leave in certain circumstances.

ELIGIBILITY

Critical incident paid leave entitlement changed from exactly 30 days to at least 20 days for officers whose actions caused serious injury or death.

REQUIREMENT

New provision added allowing the superintendent to delay leave for officers directly involved in critical incidents but not the direct cause of injuries, limited to minimum staffing needs or community safety concerns.

TECHNICAL

Bill sponsors were updated from original sponsors to include additional senators, and section numbers were renumbered to accommodate the new provision.
