Provides same death benefits to SPRS members who die by suicide as those who die in performance of duty.

This bill provides the same death benefits to State Police Retirement System (SPRS) members who die by suicide as those who die in the performance of their duty.

The bill amends the current law to include suicide deaths within the scope of accidental death benefits, ensuring that survivors receive the same benefits as those who die in the line of duty.
