Illinois Supreme Court March 20, 2003, 94112 (Krohe v. City of Bloomington)

JUSTICE THOMAS

delivered the opinion of the court:

The sole issue in this appeal is whether, under section 10(a) of the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (Act) (820 ILCS 320/10 (West 2000)), the phrase “catastrophic injury” is synonymous with an injury resulting in a line-of-duty disability under section 4 — 110 of the Illinois Pension Code (Code) (40 ILCS 5/4 — 110 (West 2000)).
