Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. has signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1749 into law. AB 1749 clarifies that fully sworn peace officers can file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits if, while in the midst of pursuit, apprehension, protection or preservation of life or property within or out of the state, the officer suffers injury, disability or death. This is a bill AOCDS proudly sponsors and has been fighting for in the legislature since the Las Vegas mass shooting nearly one year ago.
Today, Assemblymember Tom Daly (D-Anaheim), Chairman of the Assembly Insurance Committee, introduced AB 1749, a bill AOCDS is proudly sponsoring. AB 1749 would clarify that fully-sworn peace officers can file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits if, while in the midst of pursuit, apprehension, protection or preservation of life or property within or out of the state, the officer suffers injury, disability or death.
From ordering Baby Back Ribs to giving back, the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs is holding a Give Back Night at two Orange County Chili’s locations to benefit the AOCDS Memorial Fund. On Tuesday, August 22nd, patrons are invited to come to Chili’s Grill & Bar in Aliso Viejo and Yorba Linda between the hours of 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. When diners present the attached flyer, 15% of every bill (including take-out orders) will go towards the AOCDS Memorial Fund.
