An Act relative to certain retirement benefits for the surviving spouse of a state police officer injured in the line of duty
This bill grants a specific retirement benefit adjustment to Felicia O'Connor, the surviving spouse of retired state police officer John Bernard O'Connor, who died after being injured in the line of duty. It requires her current survivor allowance to be recalculated so it matches the exact amount her husband received during his lifetime. The change applies retroactively to the date of his death, ensuring she receives the full benefit immediately without waiting for standard administrative processes.
