AI Summary
This bill aims to provide fair and equitable line of duty death benefits for all public employees, not just public safety employees. It amends the existing law to increase the one-time payment to $300,000 for the family of a deceased public employee, which includes any employee working for state or county government, a Massachusetts public higher education institution, a municipality, public school department, or public school district or public authority who was killed or died due to an incident, accident, or violence while performing their duties. The bill also expands the definition of "public employee" in the related provisions of the law.
