Relates to special accidental death benefits paid to a deceased member's children

The bill's procedural status was updated to reflect that it has been amended and recommitted to the Committee on Local Government.

The New York City Transit Authority was added to the list of eligible deceased paid members, while the New York City Police Department was removed from the specific enumeration of covered entities.

A minor grammatical correction was made to the clause governing when benefits are paid to children if the surviving spouse dies.

The age threshold for children to receive accidental death benefits was increased from 18 to 25 years old, applying to both children and students.

A new condition was added requiring that eligible children must have been under the age of 25 at the time of the member's death to qualify for benefits.

The list of eligible deceased members was clarified to explicitly include uniformed members of county sheriff's departments located outside the city of New York.
