This bill gives authority to cities and counties to pay officers their full salary without forfeiting accrued leave if disabled by an on duty injury. The bill does is not a mandate, it only provides lawful authority for cities and counties to do this if they desire to enact such policy and practice. While this bill is not totally the answer, it is a step in the right direction.
All law enforcement officers, family members and friends are requested to email or call your Senator and request them to vote in support of HB-1407.
