<reference>820 ILCS 320/10</reference><aliasreference></aliasreference><SynopsisText>     Amends provisions of the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act requiring an employer that employs a full-time law enforcement, correctional or correctional probation officer or firefighter who suffers a catastrophic injury or is killed in the line of duty to pay the health insurance premium for the injured employee and his or her spouse and dependent children. Defines "catastrophic injury" as a permanent grievous or serious injury or impairment of a nature that is sufficient to preclude subsequent employment or re-employment, and excludes from the definition: conditions that are temporary or short-term in nature; common injuries; or injuries the effects of which may be mitigated by work-related rehabilitative or vocational training. Provides that an employer-selected physician's determination as to the seriousness and permanency of an employee's injury may be appealed to the employer's governing body and the final administrative decision of a governing body is subject to judicial review under the Administrative Review Law.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
