HB 1584 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the sunset of the line of duty compensation act

HB 1584 extends the expiration date of Missouri's Line of Duty Compensation Act, which provides $25,000 death benefits to survivors of public safety officers killed while performing their duties. The existing law covers firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians, and other defined public safety personnel (including air ambulance staff) who die "in the line of duty" under specific conditions. This extension ensures the current benefit structure remains in effect without altering the $25,000 payment amount, eligibility criteria, or distribution rules. The bill does not create new provisions but prevents the act from expiring, maintaining continuity for survivors.
