(c) The plans adopted under section 7(d) of this chapter must provide on a biweekly basis, after a seven (7) day elimination period, one hundred percent (100%) of qualified wages for an employee who is disabled by injuries resulting from tortious acts, as distinguished from passive negligence, that occur within the employee's scope of state employment.
