Draft Text

Delaware HB107 amends line-of-duty death benefits to include constables and 911 dispatchers.

Delaware HB107 amends Title 18 of the Delaware Code to expand the definition of "covered person" for line-of-duty death benefits. The bill adds constables commissioned under Chapter 56 of Title 24 and 911 dispatchers, as defined under § 10002 of Title 16, to the list of eligible individuals. It also includes individuals who were previously covered but died from actions seeking retaliation for performing their duties. This change ensures broader coverage for those who may face risks in their roles.
