Utah's Local Public Safety and Firefighter Surviving Spouse Trust Fund — which provides health coverage to the families of first responders killed in the line of duty — currently allows its board of trustees to spend money on ongoing coverage and administrative costs, but this bill adds a new allowable use: reimbursing employers for health insurance premiums or health savings account contributions they already paid between May 1, 2024, and May 7, 2025, on behalf of surviving spouses and dependent children.
