AI Summary
This bill extends pension eligibility for survivors of certain emergency services volunteers who contracted COVID-19 during the 2020 public health emergency declared by the Governor. Specifically, the bill states that if a volunteer firefighter, first aid worker, rescue squad worker, or emergency medical technician died from COVID-19 or complications related to COVID-19 during the public health emergency, and their duties required them to interact with the public, their death will be considered to have occurred as a result of injuries sustained in the course of their duties. This allows their survivors to be eligible for a survivor's pension, which the state will provide for starting in the year following the volunteer's death.
