Allows continuation of health insurance for surviving spouses and children of state employees who die from work-related injuries.

This bill provides for the continuation of health insurance for the surviving spouse and each surviving child of an eligible employee of the state of Iowa who dies from a work-related injury.

The state is not required to pay for the cost of the insurance, but may do so in full or in part.
