This bill simplifies the process for families of public safety officers to receive death benefits when an officer dies from a heart attack or stroke. Currently, beneficiaries must prove that cardiovascular events were directly caused by job duties rather than pre-existing health conditions, a requirement that makes claims difficult to process. The legislation removes this restrictive language and extends the timeframe for filing claims related to cardiovascular deaths from 24 hours to 72 hours, giving families more time to complete paperwork. These changes apply to all claims that are pending or filed after the bill becomes law. The bill affects police officers, firefighters, and other public safety workers and their families who rely on the Public Safety Officers' Benefits program, which is funded through existing federal appropriations.
