Back to Council file resultsResolution 260139

This resolution calls on the Pennsylvania state government to pass a law that would provide death benefits to the families of first responders who die from job-related trauma, including suicide related to post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI). The law would affect the families of first responders, such as police officers and firefighters, who experience traumatic events on the job. The goal is to ensure these families receive fair treatment and support.

Calling on the PA General Assembly to take swift and decisive action to pass Pennsylvania Senate Bill 110, also known as Bryan's Law, to amend the Emergency and Law Enforcement Personnel Death Benefits Act to extend line-of-duty death benefits to surviving spouses and children of first responders who die from job-related trauma, including PTSI-related suicide, ensuring equitable treatment for their families.
