Utah's Local Public Safety and Firefighter Surviving Spouse Trust Fund provides health coverage to the spouses and children of first responders killed in the line of duty, and current law lets the fund's board of trustees spend money only on ongoing coverage costs and administrative expenses. This bill would add a new allowable use, letting the board reimburse employers for health insurance premium costs or health savings account contributions that employers already paid on behalf of a surviving spouse or dependent children between May 1, 2024, and May 7, 2025.
