On May 22, 2015, President Obama signed the "Don't Tax Our Fallen Public Safety Heroes Act" into law. The e- signed bill, introduced by Representative Erik Paulsen (R-MN), amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Section 104) to exclude certain compensation received by public safety officers and their dependents from gross income. This includes structured settlement annuities. We applaud Congressman Paulsen for his leadership and advocacy of the injured and their families!
