What it does

The synopsis the Legislative Assembly published with the bill.

Requires city that provides disability or retirement system for firefighters <i>and police officers</i>] by ordinance or charter that is not subject to workers' compensation law to apply provisions requiring presumption that condition or impairment of health is occupational disease that results from employment if firefighter took physical examination upon gaining or during employment that failed to reveal evidence of occupational disease that existed before employment.
