Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; public safety officers benefit act; modify definition of public safety officer to include certain medical examiners and part-time firefighters. Amends sec. 2 of 2004 PA 46 (MCL 28.632).

HB 4763 amends Michigan's Public Safety Officers Benefit Act (2004 PA 46) to expand eligibility for benefits by modifying the definition of "public safety officer." It specifically adds county medical examiners, deputy county medical examiners, and medical examiner investigators to the list of qualifying roles, alongside existing categories like law enforcement officers and firefighters. The bill also clarifies that "firefighter" now explicitly includes part-time or volunteer members of fire departments. These changes ensure these additional public safety personnel qualify for benefits such as medical coverage and survivor support under the act. The bill was introduced on August 13, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Insurance.
