Survivor benefits eligibility expansion to include when a public safety officer dies in the line of duty from an exposure-related cancer provision

Summary

The bill creates a presumption that a public safety officer’s death from certain on‑the‑job cancers is a line‑of‑duty death, allowing survivors to receive benefits. It lists the qualifying cancers, defines a carcinogen, sets service‑time and diagnosis windows, and provides a filing deadline for claims. It also sets how benefit amounts are calculated and applies retroactively to February 1 2020.
