Bill > A10149

This bill establishes a "heart disease presumption" for probation officers, supervising probation officers, and probation officer trainees working in a city with a population of one million or more, meaning that if they become disabled or die due to heart disease after passing a physical exam that didn't show any heart issues, it will be assumed that their condition was caused by their job, unless proven otherwise. This presumption is intended to simplify the process for these individuals to receive disability or death benefits, and if they retire under this presumption, they will receive a pension equal to three-fourths of their final average salary, which is their average salary over a specific period. The bill also specifies that the city of New York will cover any past service costs associated with implementing these provisions and that these provisions are not subject to certain appropriation requirements.
