An act relating to survivor and disability benefits for emergency personnel

Summary

The bill would allow the families of firefighters, EMS workers, volunteer responders, and law‑enforcement officers who die in the line of duty or from an occupation‑related illness to receive a one‑time payment of $80,000. It also provides the same amount to any of those personnel who become permanently totally disabled while on duty. A new board would evaluate and approve claims, and payments would come from a dedicated state fund.
