A California lawmaker said he plans to introduce a bill that would require worker’s compensation for police officers injured while responding to crimes committed out of state.
The proposal by Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, is in response to off-duty officers who responded to the Las Vegas shooting being denied workers’ comp, the Orange County Register is reporting.
“More than 200 California police officers were attending a country music show on Oct. 1 when Stephen Paddock fired into the festival crowd, killing 58 people and wounding more than 500,” .
Many of those officers reportedly helped people to safety, performed CPR and assisted local authorities, while some California officers were shot while responding, according to the article.
