Summary
Line of Duty Act; benefits for certain private citizens. Creates a death benefit for the surviving spouse or dependents of a private citizen who was killed while coming to the aid of a law-enforcement officer that includes a $100,000 payment and a waiver of tuition at a state supported institution of higher education. An investigation as to the events surrounding the citizen's death must be initiated by the state or local law-enforcement agency involved in the event, and completed by the Department of State Police. The benefits are similar to those provided to the families of law-enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
