Tax Relief for First Responder Beneficiaries Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax relief relating to public safety officers' death benefits, and for other purposes.
HB9308, known as the Tax Relief for First Responder Beneficiaries Act, aims to change the Internal Revenue Code to offer tax benefits for the death benefits of public safety officers. If passed, this bill would provide financial relief to the families of first responders who have passed away in the line of duty by modifying tax rules related to their benefits.
This bill would mainly affect the families of deceased public safety officers, helping them with the financial burden that often comes after the loss of a loved one in service. By potentially reducing the tax burden on the benefits received, families could retain more of these crucial financial supports.
As of June 11, 2026, HB9308 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. This marks the beginning of its journey through the legislative process, where it will be reviewed, potentially amended, and voted on before it can move forward.
