Full text

(a) If a municipality pays benefits to a municipal employee under a salary continuation program when the employee is injured, the municipality is subrogated to the employee's right of recovery for personal injuries caused by the tortious conduct of a third party other than another employee of the same municipality. (b) The subrogation extends only to payments made by the municipality. (c) A municipality may not deny benefits under a salary continuation program because a municipal employee has a cause of action against a third party for personal injuries.
