An Act relative to public safety line of duty benefits
This bill amends a law to give families of deceased public safety employees (like police or firefighters) who are covered by Chapter 152 (workers' compensation) a choice. Specifically, it allows their families to select between receiving the standard "killed in the line of duty" benefit or the benefits provided under Chapter 152, instead of being automatically excluded from the line-of-duty benefit. The key change is adding this option directly into the existing law. It directly affects the families of public safety employees whose cases fall under Chapter 152.
