AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to establish a presumption that any condition of impairment of health caused by an infectious disease resulting in total or partial disability or death to a correctional facility employee is presumed to have been suffered in the line of duty, if the employee successfully passed a physical examination on entry into service or subsequently, unless the contrary is shown by competent evidence. This change aims to provide benefits and protections for correctional facility employees who develop health issues due to infectious diseases encountered on the job.
