Bill overview
This bill aims to extend line of duty death benefits to specific employees working within the Massachusetts Department of Correction. Currently, these benefits may not be available to all correctional officers and staff. The legislation seeks to ensure that individuals who die in the line of duty while performing their jobs in the department receive appropriate financial support for their families. It builds upon previous attempts to establish this benefit program.
