Bill > A07871

This bill amends the Retirement and Social Security Law, Education Law, and Volunteer Firefighters' Benefit Law to provide a presumption that any condition of impairment of health caused by Parkinson's Disease, resulting in total disability or death to a volunteer firefighter in New York State who has served for a minimum of five years and successfully passed a physical examination on entry, was caused by an accident sustained in the performance of duty, unless proven otherwise by competent evidence. This would entitle the eligible volunteer firefighter or their beneficiary to accidental disability or death benefits, respectively, under the applicable retirement systems.
