A bill to amend 1942 (1st Ex Sess) PA 9, entitled “An act providing for compensation to certain fire fighters injured in the safeguarding of life and property, and payment to the surviving spouse and dependents in case of death; and to make an appropriation therefor,” by amending section 3 (MCL 419.203), as amended by 1983 PA 207.
This bill proposes amendments to the 1942 act concerning compensation for firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty, specifically outside their jurisdiction. The amendments include providing a $500 burial expense and compensation equivalent to the worker's disability compensation act of 1969 for the surviving spouse, dependent children, parents, and siblings, in that order.
