Bill Summary
Relative to conditions of impairment caused by blood-borne infectious diseases resulting in total or partial disability or death to certain public safety personnel. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the presumptive disability law to provide that any condition of impairment of health caused by a blood-borne infectious disease, such as HIV, AIDS, and hepatitis, resulting in total or partial disability or death to certain public safety personnel, such as firefighters, police officers, and corrections officers, shall be presumed to have been suffered in the line of duty, unless the contrary is shown by competent evidence. This presumption applies if the individual successfully passed a physical examination on entry into such service or subsequently, and the examination failed to reveal any evidence of the condition.
