Massachusetts S2887 amends pension laws to provide benefits for public safety personnel injured in violent acts. The bill defines "violent act injury" as a catastrophic, life-threatening, or life-altering injury sustained from a violent attack using a dangerous weapon. It allows eligible members to receive a pension if they are unable to perform their job duties due to such injuries. The pension amount is equal to 100% of their regular compensation at the time of injury. If the member predeceases their spouse, the spouse is entitled to 75% of the pension.
