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.
Committee report, approving bill. S.J. 370.
Summary
The bill mandates that any Iowa city, county, or other governing body that provides health insurance to its employees must continue that coverage for the surviving spouse and children of a firefighter or peace officer killed in the line of duty, and must pay the entire premium. It also obligates those employers to extend health coverage, at their expense, to firefighters or peace officers who receive a work‑related disability benefit until they turn 55. The changes aim to ensure consistent, cost‑free health benefits for these public‑service families.
