HB 1922 addresses the process for determining eligibility for survivors benefits following the death of a firefighter who died who died as a result of an illness caused by line-of-duty work. Among other things this bill would exclude the opinion of the employer regarding whether individual's death resulted from an illness caused by line-of-duty work and would add several other factors to be used in making the determination.
This procedural update in determining eligibility for survivor benefits does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles and we remain neutral.
