What’s in it

This bill concerns presumptions relating to the occurrence of cancers for purposes of providing accidental disability and accidental death benefits under the municipal fire and police retirement system (411 system).1, the cancer is presumed to have been contracted while on active duty as a result of that duty. The bill modifies the cancer presumption by requiring the cancer presumption to include at least six years of performing hazardous duty. The bill makes the new cancer hazardous duty presumption rebuttable if there is evidence of sufficient exposure to tobacco products or other carcinogens, there is no known sufficient exposure to a carcinogen, the cancer occurred prior to the date of membership in the 411 system, or the attainment of years of age.
