Provides a heart disease presumption for correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol or deputy sheriff patrol supervisors

This bill creates a presumption that heart disease causing disability or death for certain public safety officers was work-related. It directly affects correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol officers, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors who are members of New York's state and local employees' retirement system. The law presumes that such heart conditions occurred during duty if the officer passed a pre-employment heart exam (showing no existing heart issues) and developed the condition while actively working. This shifts the burden of proof to the employer to disprove a work connection, streamlining disability benefit claims for these workers.
