I took the radical step of actually reading Rep. Millett's bill, HB 66.   I'd hate to know I had to implement it.   First, there are the threshold definitional issues of who is a peace officer or fire fighter or emergency responder.   Second, survivor benefits are largely a creature of the Public Employees Retirement System, not of the plan of insurance provided by the commissioner of administration.   Employees might be in any one of four different "tiers" of PERS and in any one of at least three plans of health insurance, only one of which is actually provided by the State.   A much better scheme for dealing with deaths on the job might be a more robust life insurance scheme for on-duty death or disability rather than tacking this on PERS or employee health insurance.
