Provides accidental death benefit to surviving spouse, surviving child, or surviving parent of a State Police recruit who dies during required pre-service training.

This bill (S 800) provides accidental death benefits to survivors of New Jersey State Police recruits who die during required pre-service training or related complications at the State Police Academy. It classifies such deaths as "in the line of duty," allowing surviving spouses, children, or parents to claim benefits under the State Police Retirement System. The law guarantees a minimum $50,000 benefit for surviving spouses, with calculated benefits for children or parents if no spouse survives. It also allows retroactive claims for deaths occurring before this bill’s enactment, with a 12-month filing window after the bill becomes law.
