Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Death Benefits Trust Fund; delete prohibition for intentional harm.

Summary

The bill revises the definition of “cause of death” and removes the ban on paying benefits when a law‑enforcement officer or firefighter dies by suicide or self‑inflicted harm. It keeps the existing $150,000 death payment, child survivor payments, and funeral assistance, and creates a trust fund to finance these benefits and future training grants. The change ensures families receive support regardless of how the death occurred.
