Bill > H2393

This bill amends Section 100 of chapter 32 of the General Laws to ensure that the death benefits, referred to as the "amount of pension," for fallen public safety officers, specifically police officers, firefighters, and supervisory roles within these departments, are not less than the full salary of someone in the next grade-step of their position or a supervisory position, respectively, as of the date of their death, for any payments made on or after December 1, 2010. This provision aims to provide a minimum level of financial support to the families of these officers, ensuring their death benefits reflect a comparable salary to their peers or those in higher supervisory roles.
