PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- Amends and repeals existing law to establish public safety officer catastrophic injury or death in the line of duty benefits.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This establishes consistent catastrophic benefits for public safety officers who are either killed or severely injured in the line of duty. It provides a surviving spouse with an ongoing annual pension of at least $75,000 and a one-time $500,000 pension payment. If there is no surviving spouse, any dependent children would be eligible for only the singular $500,000 pension payment dispersed evenly amongst them.
