Summary

Primary Sponsor: Mike Jones
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2012
Title: Firefighters, death or disability benefits for occupational diseases, established, special procedure for cancer, heart disease, hypertension, or respiratory disease
Description: Under existing law, there are specific compensation provisions for the death or disability due to occupational disease of a firefighter employed by a city. However, there are no specific compensation provisions for state firefighters.
This bill would provide death or disability benefits due to occupational disease as defined for a firefighter employed by the state. This bill would also specify that, if a firefighter suffers from heart disease, hypertension, respiratory disease, cancer, HIV, or hepatitis, the state must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the condition was caused by some means other than the occupation to disqualify the firefighter from benefits.
Subjects: Firefighters
