Expand death benefits.
AB 1035 (Perez)

Will protect the death benefit for family members left behind due to an industrial death of a firefighter or peace officer from specified job related illnesses. These families were “timed-out” from receiving the death benefit under current law if the public safety officer survived their terminal illness “too long” (more than 240 weeks), and this measure extended the statute of limitations to 420 weeks from date of injury.
