Bill Summary

Relative to disability or death benefits for certain members of the state police. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws concerning disability or death benefits for certain public safety personnel, specifically expanding the categories of state police members who are presumed to have cancer as a result of their employment. Previously, this presumption applied to members of the state police and those in the state police K-9 unit; this bill adds members of the State Police Dive Team, Hazardous Devices Section, and Crime Scene Services to this group, meaning if these individuals develop cancer, it will be presumed to be work-related for the purpose of receiving disability or death benefits.
