NEW: Atlanta bill would cover responders injured when responding to emergencies off-duty.
City Councilmember Andrea L. Boone introduced legislation that seeks to protect first responders who get hurt while responding to emergencies while off-duty.
Boone worked with the Atlanta Firefighters Association and introduced the bill Monday.
“In terms of eligibility requirements, it is clear our firefighters are being shortchanged, and it is my priority for all those eligible to receive benefits,” she said.
