The legislation would modify tax rules to provide financial relief to families of public safety officers—such as police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders—who die in the line of duty or from job-related illnesses. Specifically, it would adjust how death benefits paid to these families are taxed, potentially allowing them to keep more of the money they receive. The changes aim to better support the families of those who sacrifice their lives serving their communities.
