AN ACT CONCERNING AUTHORITY TO DECLARE THAT A FIREFIGHTER, POLICE OFFICER OR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PERSONNEL DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands workers' compensation protections for municipal police officers and firefighters by adding new medical conditions and extending the timeframe for coverage. It establishes a legal presumption that deaths or disabilities caused by heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots occurring during duty or within 24 hours after training are considered work-related, unless evidence proves otherwise. To qualify, these employees must have passed a physical exam upon hiring that showed no prior signs of these specific conditions. The changes apply to those who started working after 1996 and aim to ensure they receive benefits for these sudden health events linked to their public safety roles.

AN ACT CONCERNING MILITARY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AND THE DRIVER'S LICENSE ENDORSEMENT TO OPERATE FIRE APPARATUS.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows veterans and active-duty military personnel with prior fire department experience to obtain a Connecticut driver's license endorsement for operating fire apparatus without taking a standard skills test. Instead of demonstrating driving skills in a vehicle, these individuals can receive the endorsement by submitting a written statement from their commanding officer that verifies their military service and training. The law applies to those who served in a military fire department and currently hold a license to operate fire apparatus, or those who served within two years of their discharge. Effective October 1, 2024, this provision waives the usual testing requirement for these service members while maintaining the need for official certification of their qualifications.
