California SB8 provides leave of absence without loss of salary for peace officers and firefighters injured or ill in the line of duty.

California SB8 amends the Labor Code to ensure that peace officers and firefighters receive a leave of absence without loss of salary if they are disabled by injury or illness arising from their duties. This applies to city police officers, sheriffs, firefighters, and other specified public safety personnel. The leave does not count as family care and medical leave and does not reduce the time authorized for such leave. The bill also specifies that the leave applies retroactively to January 1, 2010.
