BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Ala. House passes benefits bill for families of cops, firefighters

The Alabama House on Tuesday passed a bill that would extend workers compensation benefits to the families of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty.

H.B. 192 passed on an 80-3 vote. The bill would allow the surviving spouse to receive benefits after remarriage and allow the surviving dependent children to continue to receive workers comp benefits until they are 18 years old, according to the bill’s latest text.

The bill heads to the Alabama Senate.
