The bill would

• Expand eligibility for death, disability, and education benefits under the Public Safety Officer’s Benefit (PSOB) program to certain public safety officers and their beneficiaries to officers who die or become disabled from an exposure to a carcinogen while in the line of duty
• Extend the deadline to file a claim by three years under the PSOB program for public safety officers and their beneficiaries for officers who die or become permanently and totally disabled from COVID-19

Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from

• Payments to eligible beneficiaries for death, disability, and education payments
• Costs to review claims and administer benefit payments

Areas of significant uncertainty include

• Projecting incidence and death rates of cancer for public safety officers
• Projecting the number of people filing claims and the proportion of claims approved for benefits
• Anticipating the timing of claim submissions and the period needed for review and processing
