Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025

This bill extends death and disability benefits under the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program (PSOB) to certain public safety officers who suffer from exposure-related cancer while on duty and their survivors. The PSOB program provides death, disability, and education benefits to public safety officers who are killed or injured in the line of duty and their survivors.

The bill specifies that exposure to a carcinogen shall be presumed to constitute a personal injury in the line of duty if

the exposure occurred while the officer was in the line of duty;

Read full summary

The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance must periodically review the definition of

exposure-related cance

r and update the definition if appropriate based on medical evidence and in accordance with the requirements of a petition process.
