LD1114

Provides pensions for spouses or children of corrections officers who die in the line of duty.

This bill mandates that spouses or children of corrections officers who die due to injuries sustained in the line of duty receive a pension. The pension amount is half of the officer's pay at the time of death, with a minimum of $1,000 annually. If there is no spouse, the pension goes to the minor child or children until they die or reach a certain age. The definition of "corrections officer" includes those responsible for the custody or supervision of individuals in county jails.
