This bill allows the surviving spouse of a retired member of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) to enroll in the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) and continue receiving pension benefits after remarriage under certain conditions. Specifically, it applies to spouses of members who died while receiving an accidental disability retirement allowance. The State will cover the annual premiums for health care benefits for the surviving spouse and any dependent children. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the State will bear any increased contributions to the retirement system required from employers other than the State due to the continuation of pension benefits after remarriage.

To qualify for these benefits, the surviving spouse must provide documentation approved by the Board of Trustees of the PFRS, showing that the injury leading to the member's disability was a significant contributing factor to their death. Furthermore, spouses whose pensions were terminated due to remarriage before the bill's effective date can apply for reinstatement of their pension benefits, which will be payable from the date of their application. This legislation aims to provide financial support and security to surviving spouses of PFRS members.
