SB 28 w/ SA 1

3/12/25

Brown

This Amendment clarifies that funeral expenses for deceased volunteer firefighters must be paid from the same self-insurance fund as line-of-duty disability benefits for firefighters under § 6707 of Title 18. This clarification is consistent with current procedure but is necessary because the section providing funeral expenses for deceased volunteer firefighters is in Chapter 67A of Title 18, not Chapter 67. This Amendment also redesignates the section providing funeral expenses for deceased volunteer firefighters to conform to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
