Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona’s workers’ compensation laws to clarify death benefits for surviving spouses and children of deceased employees, particularly those who are first responders. Specifically, it addresses payments to surviving spouses upon remarriage, outlines benefit percentages for surviving children (including those enrolled in higher education), and establishes provisions for payments to surviving siblings. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘first responder’ and applies to remarriages occurring on or after January 1, 2000, with limited retroactive benefits.
