(a)
The Board may determine, upon receiving supporting medical data from any two physicians,
as referred to in Section 3-7-30, that a disabled member has sufficiently recovered to perform a part or all the duties
of a police officer, or to engage in other gainful employment in which he or she might
reasonably be expected to be engaged, in light of education, training, or experience.
To the extent that such member has sufficiently recovered but is unable to be certified
to full-time active duty as a police officer, the Board may determine the degree of
partial disability then still existing and reduce the disability benefits accordingly.
The determination of partial disability shall be based upon the medical record and
the ability of the member to seek gainful employment in light of education, training,
experience, retraining, and rehabilitation.
(b)
The Board is authorized to enter into contracts or agreements for the rehabilitation
of disabled members and to pay reasonable costs thereof. (20-81-3; 33-03-3; 4-16-3.)
