AI Summary
This bill amends Section 9C½ of Chapter 32B of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand death benefits for surviving spouses of call and volunteer firefighters. Specifically, the bill allows children over the age of 19 who are physically or mentally incapacitated to continue receiving the benefits, removes the requirement that the surviving spouse "continue to" receive the benefits, and changes the calculation of the premium that the surviving spouse must pay from 100% of the premium to the same rate as retirees of the governmental unit.
