AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LINE OF DUTY DEATH BENEFITS.

This bill expands line of duty death benefits in Delaware to include 911 dispatchers, who were previously not covered under these protections. By amending the state code, the legislation officially classifies dispatchers as "covered persons" alongside other emergency responders, ensuring their families may receive financial support if they die while performing official duties. The change applies specifically to individuals defined as 911 dispatchers under existing state statutes and does not alter the overall structure of the benefits program.
