Relates to increasing certain special accidental death benefits

This bill increases special accidental death benefits for members of state and local retirement systems who die in the line of duty. Effective July 1, 2024, the payment amounts will be adjusted upward based on the deceased member's salary, using a specific percentage schedule that varies depending on the year the member died. The extra payment goes to the surviving spouse, dependent children, or parents, depending on who is eligible to receive the funds. This change applies to both the general municipal law and the retirement and social security law governing these retirement systems.
