AI Summary
This bill aims to include police officers of the Office of Environmental Law Enforcement under the "heart law," which provides certain benefits to public safety personnel who suffer from heart disease or hypertension. The heart law, also known as the "presumption of job-relatedness," presumed that these conditions were caused by the hazards of the job, making it easier for affected officers to receive workers' compensation and related benefits. By adding the Office of Environmental Law Enforcement to the list of covered entities, this bill would extend these protections to the officers in that department.
