This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to expand the Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits Program. Its primary purpose is to include certain retired law enforcement officers who suffer death or permanent disability under specific circumstances. A retired officer becomes eligible for benefits if their injury or death is the direct result of a targeted attack that occurred because of their prior service as a law enforcement officer. The bill defines such an officer as an individual who separated from service in good standing from a public agency. Significantly, these amendments apply retroactively to any qualifying incident that occurred on or after August 28, 2012 , ensuring broader coverage for past events.
