Provides for a performance and discharge of duty presumption for certain impairments of health of Nassau county fire marshals

This bill creates a legal presumption that lung diseases affecting Nassau County fire marshals and related personnel were caused by their work duties. Under this new rule, if a firefighter who passed a clean physical exam upon hiring develops a lung condition, the law assumes the illness is job-related unless the employee can prove otherwise. The Nassau County government would be responsible for covering all costs associated with this change, which could include increased disability benefits, and these expenses could be spread out over ten years. The legislation takes effect immediately and is designed to streamline the process for these specific employees seeking retirement or disability status due to respiratory health issues.
