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

This bill creates a presumption that lung diseases leading to disability or death for certain public safety workers were incurred on the job. It directly affects correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriffs patrol, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors employed by New York state or local governments. The key provision shifts the burden of proof: if these workers develop lung disease during employment (and passed a pre-hire lung exam), it is presumed work-related unless proven otherwise by the employer. This applies specifically to disability benefits under the state retirement system, streamlining claims for these occupations.
