Bill > S930

This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide public safety officer benefits for exposure-related cancers. The key provisions include: 1. Establishing a presumption that the exposure of a public safety officer to a carcinogen (a cancer-causing agent) is a personal injury sustained in the line of duty, leading to death or permanent disability, if certain criteria are met. This presumption can be rebutted by competent medical evidence. 2. Requiring the Director of the Bureau to periodically review and update the definition of "exposure-related cancer" based on competent medical evidence, and allowing individuals to petition for the addition of new cancer types to the definition. 3. Applying the amendments retroactively to claims filed on or after January 1, 2020, and allowing individuals to file such claims within 3 years of the bill's enactment. 4. Amending confidentiality provisions to ensure broader protection of information related to the public safety officer benefits program. 5. Making technical amendments to clarify the application of the Safeguarding America's First Responders Act of 2020 to line-of-duty actions and disabilities.
