Provides survivors benefits for law enforcement officers similar to those for firefighters and emergency personnel.
This bill, known as "Jessica's Law," proposes to extend the same monetary benefit currently available to survivors of firefighters and emergency personnel to survivors of law enforcement officers. The Emergency Personnel Survivors Benefit Review Board will determine eligibility for a payment of $80,000. The Emergency Personnel Survivors Benefit Special Fund, funded by appropriations, transfers, and contributions, will disburse these benefits. The fund's balance will carry forward to the next fiscal year, with interest credited to the fund.
