An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in COVID-19 enforcement officer disability benefits, further providing for enforcement officer disability benefits.

HB 1557 provides temporary disability pay for Pennsylvania police and firefighters (enforcement officers) who contract COVID-19 or are quarantined due to exposure during the state's declared pandemic emergency. It ensures these officers receive compensation under existing law when temporarily unable to work because of the illness or quarantine. Benefits are limited to 60 days per illness incident. The bill clarifies and extends disability benefits specifically for enforcement officers affected by the pandemic, as defined in the Governor's March 2020 emergency declaration.
