AI Summary
This bill, named the "Kerrie Orozco First Responders Family Support Act", proposes an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide a streamlined naturalization process for immediate family members of public safety officers who die in the line of duty. Specifically, the bill would allow surviving spouses, children, and parents of a U.S. citizen public safety officer who dies as a result of an injury or disease incurred during their employment to become U.S. citizens without meeting the typical residency or physical presence requirements. A "public safety officer" is defined according to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which typically includes law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and other first responders. To qualify, a surviving spouse must have been living in marital union with the deceased citizen at the time of their death. This legislation aims to provide immigration relief and support to families who have lost a loved one while serving in a critical public safety role, removing potential bureaucratic barriers to their naturalization.
