LAW ENFORCE/OFFICERS: Increases the benefit paid to survivors of law enforcement officers and firemen (EN +$800,000 GF EX See Note)

Increased survivor benefit payments from $250,000 to $350,000 for the surviving spouse, children, or estate of deceased firemen and law enforcement officers.

Added the word 'two' to the text specifying the dollar amount to ensure clarity and prevent misinterpretation of the figure.

Increased the survivor benefit amount from $250,000 to $350,000 for both law enforcement officers and firemen.

Added a requirement for officers to complete a beneficiary designation form to ensure benefits go to the intended recipients.

Changed the effective date to July 1, 2026, and removed the provision allowing claims for deaths occurring after July 1, 2025.

Adjusted the distribution logic for dependent children to ensure the $350,000 base benefit is paid first, with additional amounts for dependents paid on top.

Increased the base survivor benefit amount from $350,000 to $530,000 for surviving spouses, children, or beneficiaries.

Added a new provision to pay an additional $50,000 for each dependent child to their legal representative.

Changed the effective date from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2025.

Expanded applicability to include any qualifying death occurring on or after July 1, 2025, for which a claim is approved by the review board, even if approved before that date.

The survivor benefit amount was increased from $350,000 to $404,000 to correct a drafting error where the number was written as 'two three hundred fifty thousand' instead of the intended 'two hundred fifty four hundred and four thousand'.
