This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill expands survivor benefits for certain state employees who die in the line of duty or from an occupation-related illness. It specifically includes employees of the Department of Corrections, family services employees, and medical employees at state-run facilities. These individuals and their survivors may be eligible for monetary benefits starting July 1, 2026.
