AB 2378 Assembly Bill-Bill Analysis Page 4 of 5 <br /> Opponents argue that the Knittel decision accurately <br /> interprets the law, and therefore that AB 2378 is a benefit <br /> increase for peace officers and firefighters. Opponents argue <br /> that AB 2378 would be an expensive increase in workers' <br /> compensation costs, with the City and County of San Francisco <br /> reporting that their costs alone would be an additional $1 <br /> million per year. Opponents also argue that additional <br /> disability benefits would encourage longer periods of <br /> disability, leading to higher overtime costs and/or service <br /> reductions. <br /> 4. Prior Legislation . <br /> SB 1234 (Block) of 2014 would have extended "4850 leave" to <br /> additional classes of peace officers.
