MO HB33

Expands the definition of "public safety officer" eligible for survivor educational grants to include uniformed employees of the state fire marshal's office and emergency medical technicians (EMT-B, EMT-I, EMT-P, and community paramedics)

Provides tuition grants for eligible children (under age 24) and spouses of public safety officers or Department of Transportation employees who are killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty, covering up to the University of Missouri's full-time resident tuition rate

Establishes a distribution hierarchy for the $25,000 line-of-duty death compensation: surviving spouse only receives 100%; spouse and children split 50/50; children only receive equal shares; if no spouse or children, payment goes to the decedent's estate

Allows surviving children and personal representatives of the estate (not just spouses) to file claims for line-of-duty death compensation with the Division of Workers' Compensation within one year of death

Creates the "Line of Duty Compensation Fund" in the state treasury to pay claims, with the program subject to automatic sunset six years after June 19, 2019 unless reauthorized
