SB 1932 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain presumptions applicable to claims for benefits or compensation for certain medical conditions brought by certain first responders.

SB 1932 creates a legal presumption that heart attacks or strokes suffered by firefighters, police officers, or EMTs during or within eight hours after certain high-stress emergency response activities (like fire suppression, rescue, or hazardous material response) are work-related. This applies only to claims filed on or after the bill's effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed by two-thirds vote), shifting the burden of proof for these specific medical conditions. Claims filed before this date will follow existing rules.
