HB 2190 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 38-881 to redefine "accidental disability" in the corrections officer retirement plan.

• Removes the requirement that accidental disability be "the result of" specific contact or confrontational situations with inmates/prisoners, replacing it with "and was incurred in the performance" of duties language.

• Eliminates the enumerated list of specific causes (physical contact, confrontational situations, job-related motor vehicle accidents) that previously had to result in the disability.

• Maintains the core definition that accidental disability means a condition that totally and permanently prevents an employee from performing a reasonable range of duties within their department.
