Modifying language in the statute to make it consistent with W.Va. Code §5H-1-2(b) for survivor’s benefit payments.

HB 3433 amends West Virginia Code §15-11-2 to align its language with W.Va. Code §5H-1-2(b) regarding funeral expense payments for first responders. The bill maintains the existing $8,000 maximum payment for funeral costs of law enforcement, safety, or emergency workers killed in the line of duty, while clarifying that funds supplement other available benefits to ensure at least $8,000 is paid. It specifically affects families of eligible workers - such as police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and correctional staff - who died while performing official duties. The change ensures consistency between statutes but does not alter the current payment structure or eligibility criteria.
