NY S04095

Requires New York State to pay full salary and wages to parole officers, parole revocation specialists, and warrant officers in the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision who are injured or become ill in the performance of their duties until their disability ceases.

Requires the State to cover all medical treatment and hospital care necessitated by duty-related injuries or illnesses, with state health authorities or physicians determining when the officer has recovered and can resume regular duties.

Allows salary and wage payments to be discontinued if the officer is granted an accidental disability retirement allowance or similar disability pension, or if they refuse medical treatment or inspections.

Permits the officer to be transferred to light duty positions consistent with their peace officer status if they cannot perform regular duties but are able to perform other work, with full salary and benefits maintained if light duty is available and accepted.

Allows the State to recover reimbursement from any third party against whom the officer has a legal claim for the injury or illness, and prohibits medical providers from collecting payment directly from the officer.
