Provides for presumptions for certain impairments of health
This bill establishes a legal presumption that specific Nassau County emergency workers, such as ambulance technicians and police medics, contracted HIV, tuberculosis, or hepatitis while performing their duties. Under this new rule, these employees would automatically be considered disabled due to work-related exposure to these diseases unless the county can prove otherwise. The legislation also assigns the financial costs of implementing these benefits to Nassau County, allowing expenses to be spread over ten years without requiring separate annual funding approval.
