Session: Regular Session 2012
Title: Firefighters, death or disability benefits for occupational disease for state firefighters, definition of occupational diseases expanded for municipal firefighters to include a cerebral vascular accident or stroke, Sec. 11-43-144 am'd
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.
Also, the term "firefighter's occupational disease" does not include cerebral vascular accident or stroke.
This bill would include a cerebral vascular accident or stroke in the definition of a municipal firefighter's occupational disease.
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.
Subjects: Firefighters
