Illinois State Rep. Dave Vella has introduced a measure to ensure families of fallen first responders and military will get uninterrupted state benefits.
Local leaders are coming together to show support for legislation benefitting the families of fallen first responders.
The state's Line of Duty Compensation Act provides benefits to the families of police officers, firefighters, paramedics, military members, and other first responders killed in the line of duty. But in some years, funding for those benefits can run out before the end of the fiscal year, forcing families to sometimes wait months for state lawmakers to approve supplemental funding.
