Vermont Honors Officers with New Death Benefits

Vermont just enacted “Jessica’s Law,” a heartfelt tribute to fallen Officer Jessica Ebbighausen, offering state death benefits to families of law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty. After years of advocacy, this landmark legislation finally extends the same $80,000 support previously reserved for firefighters and EMS workers to police, corrections, and child welfare employees. Passed amid national grief and local urgency, the law takes effect July 1st — a powerful promise that no family will walk alone after sacrifice.
