Public safety officer death benefit law definitions expansion provision

This bill expands Minnesota's definition of "killed in the line of duty" for public safety officers, specifically adding three scenarios where deaths are presumed work-related: heart attacks/strokes during nonroutine stressful activities (like emergency responses), suicides linked to PTSD or traumatic events within 45 days, and deaths from infectious disease exposure during duty. It directly affects police officers, firefighters, EMTs, correctional staff, and other public safety personnel covered under the expanded definition in Minnesota Statutes §299A.41. The changes apply retroactively to November 1, 2022 (for most scenarios) and February 1, 2020 (for infectious disease cases). Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner of public safety to annually report federal changes affecting these benefits.
