FIRE PROTECT/FIREMEN: Provides for the financial security of surviving spouses and dependent children of deceased firemen in certain circumstances (EN +$250,000 GF EX See Note)

HB 413 modifies the financial protections available to the families of deceased firefighters in Louisiana by adding a residency requirement for survivors. The bill specifically requires that surviving spouses and dependent children must be Louisiana residents to qualify for benefits under the existing program. This change ensures that only residents of the state are eligible for the financial security provided to the families of fallen firefighters. The legislation does not alter the core benefit structure but restricts eligibility based on the survivor's state of residence.
