Bill Summary
For legislation to provide health insurance coverage to the surviving children of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Massachusetts law to provide health insurance coverage to the surviving children of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty, even if the surviving spouse remarries or passes away. The key provisions are that dependents (children) may continue their insurance coverage regardless of the remarriage or death of the surviving spouse. This ensures that the children of public safety officers who make the ultimate sacrifice can maintain their health insurance even after the loss of their parent.
