Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Line of Duty Compensation Act. Provides that, if no beneficiary is designated or surviving at the death of an Armed Forces member killed in the line of duty, compensation under the Act shall be paid in the following priority: to the surviving beneficiaries designated in the Armed Forces member's Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate; in accordance with the Armed Forces member's legally binding will; or in accordance with the provisions of the Act that apply to other line-of-duty deaths. Applies if compensation was not paid before the effective date of the amendatory Act. Amends the Illinois National Guardsman's Compensation Act to make conforming changes. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause and re-inserts similar provisions, but provides that the amendatory changes in this bill are made only if House Bill 5251 becomes law. Also makes the following changes: Changes references from "if no beneficiary is designated or surviving" to "if no beneficiary is designated or if no designated beneficiary survives". Provides that if there is no surviving designated beneficiary at the death of a law enforcement officer, civil defense worker, civil air patrol member, paramedic, fireman, chaplain, or State employee killed in the line of duty, the compensation shall be paid in accordance with a legally binding will and compensation shall be paid to specified relatives if the decedent did not leave a legally binding will. Adds applicability language. Provides that if no Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate form exists for an Armed Forces member and the Armed Forces member did not leave a legally binding will, the compensation shall be paid "to the persons and in the priority as set forth in" (rather than "pursuant to") provisions governing payments to survivors of persons other than Armed Forces members who are killed in the line of duty. Provides that no compensation is payable under the Act if there is no surviving designated beneficiary of a person killed in the line of duty and no other person or entity to whom compensation is payable (rather than if there is no surviving designated beneficiary of a person killed in the line of duty and no surviving specified relative). Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
