Relates to health insurance coverage for surviving spouses or domestic partners of fire protection inspectors of the New York city fire department

This bill expands health insurance benefits for surviving spouses and domestic partners of New York City fire protection inspectors and their supervisors. It allows these family members to enroll in the same health coverage available to retired firefighters, provided they pay 102% of the group rate within one year of the member's death. The legislation specifically defines eligible deceased employees as those who worked as fire protection inspectors, associate inspectors, emergency medical technicians, or advanced emergency medical technicians, or who directly supervised these roles. Signed into law in December 2024, the measure ensures that families of these specific fire department personnel retain access to medical insurance after the employee passes away.
