A bill guaranteeing financial support for workers who are attacked while supervising inmates or detainees awaits final approval before the state General Assembly.
The bill, A-3422, is co-sponsored by Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D-17).
Under the legislation, a compensation program would be established that would allow state corrections officers, juvenile corrections officers, juvenile detention officers, parole officers and probation officers who suffer bodily injury as the result of an attack by inmates, detainees or other persons under their supervision to continue to receive full wages until they begin receiving workers’ compensation payments, according to a press release from the Assembly Democrats.
