SB3076

Illinois SB3076 amends the Public Employee Disability Act to extend benefits for eligible employees injured or ill in the line of duty.

Illinois SB3076 amends the Public Employee Disability Act to expand the definition of "eligible employee" to include part-time and full-time county correctional officers and employees of county sheriffs. The bill ensures that eligible employees who suffer an injury or illness in the line of duty continue to receive health insurance benefits and compensation on the same terms as before the injury or illness. It also extends the period for which continuing compensation is paid to eligible employees whose physical recovery is hindered by circumstances attributable to COVID-19.
