State House passes bill supporting children of fallen first responders

LANSING, Mich. –  A new state bill supporting children of fallen first responders has passed legislation.

The bill was first introduced by State Representative(D) Matt Koleszar in 2019.

The bill would guarantee tuition–free college for all surviving school–aged children of Michigan police officers and firefighters who were killed in the line of duty.

Now, the bill will go to the state senate for review.
