The Labor Code provided that, if a local firefighter or peace officer, or Sheriff’s Special Officer of the County of Orange, is killed in the line of duty or as a result of an accident or injury that occurred in the line of duty, the deceased employee’s minor dependents continued receiving health benefits until the age of 21.
SB 447 raises the minimum age for which a deceased employee’s minor dependents continue receiving health benefits to 26.
(SB 447 amends Section 4856 of the Labor Code.)
