What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act of 2025. It amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to include certain retired law enforcement officers in the public safety officers' death benefits program. Under this bill, a retired law enforcement officer becomes eligible for benefits if they died or became permanently and totally disabled. This must be the direct and proximate result of a personal injury from a targeted attack because of their past service. The rules also apply retroactively to actions taken against retired law enforcement officers on or after January 1, 2012.
