SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Line of Duty Act; definition of disabled employee. Amends the definition of "disabled employee" under the Line of Duty Act to include any person who has become mentally or physically incapacitated on or after April 8, 1972, as a direct or proximate result of the performance of his duty. Any such employee mentally or physically incapacitated between April 8, 1972, and July 1, 2000, shall receive health insurance coverage payments, which shall be retroactive to July 1, 2000. Such health insurance coverage shall be the same plan of benefits that such incapacitated person was entitled to on the last day of his active duty.

Employees covered under the Line of Duty Act mentally or physically incapacitated prior to July 1, 2000, currently are not provided health insurance coverage by the Commonwealth. Health insurance coverage currently is only afforded to employees incapacitated on or after July 1, 2000.
