Excerpts from wandtv.co:
Gov. JB Pritzker has signed into a law a bill doubling death benefits for families of law enforcement officials and firefighters who have died. The cap for state reimbursements of burial costs has been moved to $20,000. It previously sat at $10,000 after previous law was established in 1999.
The law passed the Illinois House and went to Pritzker for his signature on June 14.
