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 add a new Section 94C. The new section establishes 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 member of a non-contributory or contributory retirement system, was suffered in the performance of the job if the impairment was caused by negative environmental factors in the workplace and occurred subsequent to employment in such workplace, unless the contrary is shown by competent evidence. This change aims to provide certain protections for public employees who develop lung or respiratory conditions due to their work environment.
