AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statute 112.181 to provide a presumption that if certain emergency and public safety workers, such as firefighters and law enforcement officers, contract an "infectious disease" as defined in the bill, it is presumed to have happened in the line of duty. To qualify for this presumption, the worker must meet certain conditions, such as not being exposed to the disease outside of their employment. The bill also requires that any vaccines or immunizations approved by the FDA be considered when determining if the worker is eligible for the presumption. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2021.
