Relates to a death benefit option for the wife of deceased justice Jerry Garguilo

This bill provides a specific death benefit option for Angela Garguilo, the wife of deceased Justice Jerry Garguilo. It allows her to elect a lump sum payment equal to the pension reserve that would have been established if her husband had retired on the day he died, or the greater of that amount plus any existing death benefit. The state will cover all costs for implementing this benefit, amortizing them over ten years. The bill directly affects only Angela Garguilo as the named beneficiary of Justice Garguilo.
