SB860 provides up to $8,000 for funeral expenses of first responders killed in the line of duty.

SB860 amends the West Virginia Code to ensure the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety pays up to $8,000 for funeral expenses of law enforcement, safety, and emergency workers killed in the line of duty. This applies to workers such as law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services personnel. The payment is made upon request from the employer or head of a volunteer organization, provided the worker died while performing official duties. The bill ensures at least $8,000 is available for funeral expenses, even if other funds are provided.
