Summary

As Passed Both Chambers. Line of Duty Act; eligible dependent.

Provides that for purposes of continued health insurance pursuant to the Line of Duty Act, an eligible dependent means the natural or adopted child or children of a deceased person or disabled person or of a deceased or disabled person's eligible spouse, provided that any such natural child is born as the result of a pregnancy that occurred prior to, or no later than six months after, the time of the employee's death or disability and that any such adopted child is (i) adopted prior to, or no later than six months after, the time of the employee's death or disability or (ii) adopted more than six months after the employee's death or disability if the adoption is pursuant to a preadoptive agreement entered into prior to, or no later than six months after, the death or disability. Under current law, an eligible dependent includes a child born or adopted prior to the time of the employee's death or disability. The bill's provisions only apply to an eligible dependent of a deceased person or disabled person when such death or disability occurred on or after July 1, 2017, and the bill specifies that any new health insurance coverage for those qualifying as an eligible dependent is only prospective from July 1, 2024.
