SB464 Alabama 2012 Session
Bill Summary
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
Also, the term "firefighter's occupational disease" does not include cerebral vascular accident or stroke

This bill also would provide death or disability benefits due to occupational disease as defined for a firefighter employed by the state
The bill would also specify that, if a firefighter suffers from heart disease, hypertension, respiratory disease, cerebral vascular accident or stroke, 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
To amend Section 11-43-144, Code of Alabama 1975, to include a cerebral vascular accident or stroke in the definition of a municipal firefighter's occupational disease; to provide death and disability benefits due to certain occupational diseases for firefighters employed by the state; to further define firefighter's occupational disease; and to provide that 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.
