Kentucky SB47 amends line of duty death benefits for firefighters and other public safety personnel.

Kentucky SB47 amends the state's line of duty death benefits for firefighters and other public safety personnel. It provides that firefighters who die from certain cancers caused by exposure to carcinogens while in service are eligible for benefits. The bill also specifies the criteria for eligibility, including the requirement that the firefighter must not have used tobacco products for ten years prior to diagnosis and must have been under the age of 65 at the time of death.
