Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the contraction of MRSA by public safety personnel. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to establish a presumption that a uniformed member of a paid fire department, police department, or other specified public safety personnel who contracts methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) resulting in total or partial disability or death has suffered the condition in the line of duty, unless the contrary is shown by competent evidence. This presumption applies if the person successfully passed a physical examination on entry into such service or subsequently, and the examination did not reveal any evidence of the MRSA condition.
