Provides for presumptions for certain impairments of health
This bill establishes a legal presumption that specific Nassau County emergency medical and police personnel contracted HIV, tuberculosis, or hepatitis while performing their official duties. It applies to roles such as ambulance medical technicians, police medics, and their supervisors, stating that if these workers contract these diseases due to exposure to bodily fluids during their jobs, they are automatically considered disabled for retirement purposes unless proven otherwise. The legislation requires the county to cover all associated past service costs, which can be paid over ten years, and exempts these provisions from standard annual budget approval requirements.
