11  The Committee on Criminal Justice Appropriations offered the
12  following:
13  
14         Amendment 
15         On page 1, lines 21 through 26
16  remove from the bill:  all of said lines
17  
18  and insert in lieu thereof:  employer.  For the purposes of
19  this subsection and not withstanding any other provisions of
20  law to the contrary, an injury to a law enforcement officer as
21  defined in Section 943.10(1), Florida Statutes, during the
22  officer's work period or while going to or coming from work in
23  an official law enforcement vehicle, shall be presumed to be
24  an injury arising out of and in the course of employment
25  unless the injury occurred during a distinct deviation for a
26  non-essential personal errand.  If, however, the employer's
27  policy or the collective bargaining agreement that applies to
28  the officer permits such deviations for non-essential errands,
29  the injury shall be presumed to arise out of and in the course
30  of employment.
