AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws 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 the eligibility criteria, the amount of the pension, and the process for administering the payments. It also clarifies that the presumptions created by certain sections of the law do not apply to the deaths covered by this provision. The bill expands the definition of "firefighter" to include members of specific fire departments, such as the Massachusetts military reservation fire department and the 104th fighter wing fire department.
