The bill would modify tax rules to provide financial relief for families of public safety officers, such as police officers and firefighters, who die in the line of duty by adjusting how death benefits are taxed. This would help surviving spouses, children, and other dependents keep more of the money they receive after losing a loved one who was protecting their community. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.
