A bill for an act relating to health insurance coverage for surviving spouses and children of deceased fire fighters and peace officers, and health insurance coverage for disabled or injured fire fighters and peace officers.

Summary

The bill forces city councils, county boards and other governing bodies that already provide health insurance for their employees to keep that coverage for the surviving spouses and children of firefighters or peace officers killed on duty, and to pay the entire premium. It also obligates those employers to continue coverage for firefighters or peace officers who receive disability benefits until they turn 55. The goal is to guarantee uninterrupted health care for these families without cost‑sharing.
