Bill > S1597

This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to provide a presumption that any condition of impairment of health caused by an infectious disease resulting in total or partial disability or death to an employee of a correctional facility is presumed to have been suffered in the line of duty, as long as the employee successfully passed a physical examination upon entry into the service or subsequently. This presumption can be rebutted by competent evidence to the contrary.
