Bill Summary

Relative to providing continuing health insurance coverage for surviving children of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 32B of the General Laws, specifically sections 9C and 9G, to ensure that surviving children of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty can continue to receive health insurance coverage. The changes allow these dependents to maintain their insurance even if their surviving spouse remarries or passes away, and for dependents under the age of nineteen, this continuation of coverage is explicitly permitted regardless of the surviving spouse's remarriage or death. This provision aims to provide ongoing health security for the children of public servants who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
