AI Summary

This bill seeks to expand the benefits of the "heart law," which provides certain protections and benefits to public employees who suffer from heart conditions that are presumed to be work-related, to include police officers employed by the Office of Environmental Law Enforcement. Currently, the law specifies that this presumption applies to police officers of certain other departments, and this amendment proposes to add the environmental law enforcement police force to that list, ensuring they receive similar considerations if diagnosed with a heart condition.
