Bill Summary

Relative to the disability retirement law for public employees. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to provide a presumption that any condition or impairment of health caused by any disease of the lungs or respiratory tract, resulting in total disability or death of a public employee, was suffered in the performance of the job, unless the contrary is shown by competent evidence. This change applies to non-contributory or contributory retirement systems and is intended to address situations where the employee's respiratory illness was caused by negative environmental factors in the workplace.
