AI Summary

This bill amends Section 100A of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to expand the line of duty death benefits to include cases where an employee's death was self-inflicted, if a licensed mental health professional establishes that the death was the direct result of exposure to a traumatic event or set of events during the employee's active duty service. This change aims to provide benefits to public service employees whose deaths are connected to the traumatic experiences they face in the course of their duties.
