Bill Summary

Relative to cancer presumption for police officers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 94B of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which deals with public service and specifically the "cancer presumption" for police officers. The cancer presumption is a legal principle that presumes certain cancers are work-related for police officers, making it easier for them to receive disability benefits if diagnosed with these cancers. This bill proposes to insert the words "police department" after the word "department" in line 5 of that section, clarifying that this cancer presumption applies to individuals within a police department.
