Bill Summary
Revises workers' compensation coverage for certain injuries to volunteer and professional public safety and law enforcement personnel.
AI Summary
This bill revises the workers' compensation coverage for certain injuries to volunteer and professional public safety and law enforcement personnel. It establishes a rebuttable presumption that cardiovascular or cerebrovascular injuries or deaths occurring to these individuals while responding to or remediating from a law enforcement, public safety, or medical emergency are compensable under workers' compensation laws. The bill also expands the categories of personnel covered, including emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and 9-1-1 dispatchers. The presumption of compensability can be rebutted by clear and convincing medical evidence that the work experience was not a substantial cause of the injury.
