BILL NUMBER:S6289
Title of bill
An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to compensation and medical expenses of certain injured state employees
Purpose or general idea of bill
Makes provisions for payment to peace officers employed by the division of parole for salary and medical expenses while subject to sickness.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends the state finance law to add a new section 209-c.
Justification
Peace officers employed in the state department of corrections and community supervision perform hazardous duty on behalf of the people of the state of New York on a daily basis. They are at risk of being injured in the performance of these duties and should be afforded the same protection against the financial hardship which may result as are those individuals employed by municipalities in the performance of similar law enforcement responsibilities.
