workers' compensation; death benefits; remarriage

Summary

The bill amends Arizona’s workers’ compensation death‑benefit law to specify how much surviving spouses, children, parents, and siblings receive when a worker dies. It especially restores benefits for spouses of first responders who lost them after remarriage, providing clear payment percentages, age limits, and a $5,000 burial‑expense cap. The changes affect any worker’s dependents but add a special provision for first‑responder families.
