Bill Summary
For legislation to provide special line-of-duty death benefits to public safety officers. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 100 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to provide special line-of-duty death benefits to public safety officers, such as police officers and firefighters. The key provision is that the amount of the pension payable to the family of a fallen public safety officer will be no less than the full salary payable to an officer in the next grade-step of the same position, or the earnings that would have been payable to a supervisor in the next grade-step of a supervisory position. This ensures that the families of these public servants who have made the ultimate sacrifice receive adequate financial support.
