This bill, titled the Kerrie Orozco First Responders Family Support Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a special naturalization process for immediate relatives of U.S. citizen public safety officers. Specifically, it allows a surviving spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen who dies from an injury or disease incurred or aggravated during their public safety employment to naturalize. A significant provision of this act is the waiver of typical prior residence or specified physical presence requirements for these eligible family members. To qualify, a surviving spouse must have been living in marital union with the citizen at the time of death. The bill incorporates the existing definition of "public safety officer" from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, ensuring consistent application of this benefit.
