(1) A reference in this Act to an employee with its ordinary meaning includes a reference to a law enforcement officer of a State that is a referring State because of this Division if the State’s referral law so provides for the purposes of that law. (2) A reference in this Act to an employer with its ordinary meaning includes a reference to a holder of an office of a State that is a referring State because of this Division if the State’s referral law provides, for the purposes of that law, that the holder of the office is taken to be the employer of a law enforcement officer of the State. (3) This section does not limit the operation of section 15 (which deals with references to employee and employer with their ordinary meanings). Note: Section 30H may limit the extent to which this section extends the meanings of employee and employer.
