House Bill 1428 amends the Government Code to provide that certain peace officers are entitled to injury leave without being required to use any accrued compensatory time or any other type of leave and without any salary deductions, as long as the injury resulted from certain assaultive offenses that occurred during the course of performing their duties. The bill also authorizes an injured officer to receive workers' compensation benefits while on injury leave, but provides that the officer is ineligible for certain disability retirement benefits while on injury leave.
