Kentucky EMS Line of Duty Death Bill

Written by JCouture | 05 January 2010

Kentucky currently does not provide a Line-Of-Duty-Death Benefit to Emergency Medical Services responders. The Kentucky Ambulance Providers Association has been working since 2008 to extend the same valuable benefit provided to law enforcement and the fire service to all EMS responders killed in the line of duty.

BR 494, introduced on Dec. 17, 2009 for the 2010 Kentucky Legislative Session by Rep. David Floyd, would amend KRS 61.315 and extend the Kentucky Line-Of-Duty-Death Benefit to every paid or volunteer emergency responder who is employed by or volunteers his or her services to an ambulance service licensed pursuant to KRS Chapter 311A. The benefit includes a lump-sum payment of $80,000 to the surviving spouse and children of an EMS responder killed as a direct result of an act in the line of duty. An additional $25,000 may be awarded under 346.155. Free tuition at a state-supported school for survivors of a covered EMS responder would be available under 164.2842.
