Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Death Benefits Trust Fund; delete prohibition for intentional harm.

SB 2794 removes a prohibition in Mississippi law that previously denied death benefits to families of law enforcement officers and firefighters who died by suicide or intentional self-harm. The bill amends Section 45-2-1 to allow the standard $150,000 death benefit (plus up to $25,000 per child, totaling $250,000) and funeral expense payments to be paid in these cases. This change directly affects beneficiaries of eligible officers and firefighters who die while on duty, including in suicide-related incidents. The bill does not alter benefit amounts or the trust fund's administration structure.
