HB 2566 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Removes the sunset provisions from the "Line of Duty Compensation Act"

HB 2566 removes the expiration date (sunset provision) from Missouri's Line of Duty Compensation Act, making the death benefit permanent. The law provides $100,000 in compensation to survivors of public safety officers (including firefighters, law enforcement, EMTs, and air ambulance crew) who die "in the line of duty" due to work-related injuries, illness, or violence. Previously, this benefit would have expired after a set period without legislative renewal. The bill ensures survivors of qualifying officers will continue to receive this payment without needing future legislative action to extend it.
