Bishop Evans' death inspired legislation to ensure Texas National Guard members who die in the line of duty receive $500,000 in death benefits for their survivors. But if the “Bishop Evans Act” passes, Evans’ own family won’t qualify. With MilitaryTimes:
National Guard troops on federal deployment who die on the job receive a six-figure lump-sum death benefit, but Operation Lone Star is a state deployment, and Texas does not currently offer similar financial support.
Lawmakers are trying to address that disparity during this year’s legislative session, which ends on Memorial Day. If lawmakers do not approve a law change before then, they could have to wait two more years before the Legislature reconvenes.
