Relates to the disability retirement for safety and security officers
This bill updates the rules for disability retirement for security hospital treatment assistants and qualifying members who are injured or become ill while working. It ensures these employees receive disability benefits if they are incapacitated due to injuries sustained on the job or acts by individuals confined in mental health institutions. The legislation also establishes legal presumptions that certain diseases, including HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis, contracted through exposure to incarcerated individuals are work-related, as well as presuming that heart conditions developing after a clean entry physical exam are job-incurred.
