S.2009

Expands definition of child under PFRS and SPRS to include those under 24 enrolled in higher education.

This bill expands the definition of a child under the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) and the State Police Retirement System (SPRS) to include the child of a deceased member that is under the age of 24 and enrolled in a degree program in an institution of higher education for at least 12 credit hours in each semester. This change removes the requirement that the child must be the survivor of a member who died in the line of duty to be considered a child under the PFRS or SPRS.
