The bill amends the North Dakota Century Code regarding the firefighters death benefits fund. It modifies the amount that the insurance commissioner is authorized to transfer to the fund, increasing the limit from fifty thousand dollars to one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars per biennium. This change aims to ensure that sufficient funds are available for distribution under the relevant chapter.

Additionally, the bill revises the payment amount from the firefighters death benefit fund to the survivors of deceased firefighters. The payment is increased from ten thousand dollars to twenty-five thousand dollars, contingent upon the submission of a request for payment and evidence of a line of duty death from the appropriate fire chief or their designee. These amendments are intended to enhance the financial support provided to the families of firefighters who have died in the line of duty.
