Relates to the disability retirement for safety and security officers

This bill updates the retirement and social security law to clarify disability benefits for security hospital treatment assistants and qualifying members. It ensures these officers receive disability retirement allowances if they become incapacitated due to injuries sustained while performing their duties or acts committed by incarcerated individuals. The legislation also establishes specific presumptions that certain health conditions, including HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and heart diseases, were contracted or occurred while on the job, unless proven otherwise. These changes directly affect current and future employees in these roles by streamlining the process for claiming disability benefits related to occupational hazards.
