House Author: Kacal et al. |

Effective: 9-1-17 |

Previous law provided for the eligibility of certain surviving spouses of first responders for workers' compensation death benefits for life under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act based on an injury that occurred on or after a certain date. House Bill 2119 amends the Labor Code to instead provide for that eligibility regardless of the date on which the first responder's death occurred.
