BOSTON (WHDH) - Governor Baker is expected to sign a new law on Tuesday.
The law would double the amount of money that families would receive if a loved one dies in the line of duty as a first responder.
The bill would increase the benefit from $150,000 to $300,000.
It would apply to a Watertown firefighter who died earlier this month in the line of duty.
