AN ACT relative to requirements for medical examination and determination of gainful occupation for group II retirees injured in the performance of duty.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Subparagraph; Group II; Accidental Disability Retirement; Exemption Added. Amend RSA 100-A:6, II by inserting after subparagraph (d) the following new subparagraph:
(e) A group II member receiving an accidental disability retirement pursuant to subparagraphs (c) and (d) shall be exempt from the requirements for medical examination and determination of gainful occupation under paragraph III of this section. Such group II retired member may have earnable compensation without any loss or reduction of benefits.
2 Reference Added. Amend RSA 100-A:6, III by inserting after the paragraph heading the following new unnumbered introductory paragraph:
Except as provided in subparagraph II(e):
3 Call, Substitute, or Volunteer Firemen. Amend RSA 100-A:19, II to read as follows:
II. Upon the application of a call, substitute or volunteer fireman who is eligible for benefits under this section, and who has become totally and permanently incapacitated as the natural and proximate result of an injury received while in the actual performance of fire duty at some definite time and place, without willful negligence on his part, such fireman shall receive an annual allowance not to exceed $1,250; provided he is found to be mentally or physically incapacitated for employment and that such incapacity is likely to be permanent. The fact of such fireman's permanent disability shall be established in a manner similar to that employed for determining the eligibility of a member for an accidental disability allowance under RSA 100-A:6[, and, after the commencement of such allowance, said fireman shall be subject to the provisions of RSA 100-A:6, III, as if the same were part of this section].
