An act relating to survivor and disability benefits for emergency personnel

Summary

The bill sets up a review board that can award a one‑time $80,000 payment to survivors of Vermont firefighters, EMS workers, volunteers, and law‑enforcement officers who die on duty or from a job‑related illness, and to those who become permanently totally disabled while serving. It defines who qualifies, how to apply, and creates a special fund to pay the benefits without reducing any other benefits the personnel may receive.
