Bill Summary

Relative to providing for special death benefits to fallen public safety officers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 100 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to provide special death benefits to fallen public safety officers. Specifically, it establishes that the "amount of pension" for a deceased police officer, firefighter, or public safety supervisor shall be no less than the full salary payable to the next higher grade-step for that position, effective December 1, 2010. This ensures that the families of fallen public safety officers receive a higher level of financial support during their time of loss.
