Bill overview
This bill creates a death benefit for incarcerated firefighters who participate in the California Conservation Camp program. Specifically, it requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to pay a death benefit to the crew member’s designated beneficiary if they die while performing their duties related to firefighting or training exercises. The benefit amount includes a fixed sum of $50,000 plus 50% of their annual compensation earned before death. This legislation ensures these individuals and their families receive financial support in the event of a tragic loss.
