House Ways & Means Acts Quickly

Updated On: Feb 05, 2010 (13:43:00)

On Tuesday, January 19, the House Ways & Means Committee heard House Bill 2519 and took public testimony. This bill would make six modifications to current law in pension, State Workers' Compensation and Higher Education statutes to help survivors of police officers and fire fighters killed in the line-of-duty. Heart wrenching testimony was given by survivor's of police officers killed and the Lakewood Police Chief on the recent tragedies.
