Bill Summary
Relative to benefits to surviving spouses of emergency medical technicians killed in performance of duties. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill aims to extend the benefits provided to the surviving spouses of firefighters, police officers, and corrections officers to also include public emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who are killed in the line of duty. The bill amends various sections of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws to add language that includes public EMTs in the provisions related to death benefits, accidental disability retirement, and other benefits provided to the families of first responders who die while performing their duties. The bill seeks to ensure that the surviving families of public EMTs receive the same level of support and benefits as the families of other first responders who make the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
