Bill Summary

Relative to pensions for children of public safety officers killed in the line of duty. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 32 of Massachusetts law to provide pensions to the surviving spouses and children of firefighters, police officers, or corrections officers who are killed in the line of duty. The bill specifies that the pension amount would be equal to the salary the deceased officer would have received had they continued in service. In the event of the death of the surviving spouse, the children would receive a portion of the pension until they reach age 18 or 22 if they are full-time students. The bill also outlines the process for administering these benefits through the state retirement system or local retirement boards.
