Bill Summary

For legislation relative to public safety line of duty benefits. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing law regarding benefits for public safety employees who die in the line of duty, specifically by amending Section 100A of Chapter 32. Previously, a deceased public safety employee's family could not receive the "killed in the line of duty" benefit if the employee was also subject to Chapter 152, which deals with workers' compensation. This bill removes that restriction, allowing the family of a deceased public safety employee who is subject to Chapter 152 to choose between receiving the line-of-duty death benefit or the benefits provided under Chapter 152.
