PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 411.6, subsection 5, paragraph c, Code 1 2 1995, is amended to read as follows: 1 3 c. Disease under this section shall mean heart disease or 1 4 any disease of the lungs or respiratory tract andshall be1 5presumedis deemed to have been contracted while on active 1 6 duty as a result of strain or the inhalation of noxious fumes, 1 7 poison, or gases. However, if a person's membership in the 1 8 system first commenced on or after July 1, 1992, and the heart 1 9 disease or disease of the lungs or respiratory tract would not 1 10 exist, but for a medical condition that was known to exist on 1 11 the date that membership commenced, the presumption 1 12 established in this paragraph shall not apply. 1 13 Sec. 2. Section 411.6, subsection 9, paragraph b, 1 14 unnumbered paragraph 2, Code 1995, is amended to read as 1 15 follows: 1 16 Disease under this subsection shall mean heart disease or 1 17 any disease of the lungs or respiratory tract andshall be1 18presumedis deemed to have been contracted while on active 1 19 duty as a result of strain or the inhalation of noxious fumes, 1 20 poison, or gases. 1 21 EXPLANATION 1 22 Currently, a member of the statewide fire and police 1 23 retirement system who contracts heart or lung disease is 1 24 presumed to have contracted the disease while on active duty 1 25 for purposes of establishing the member's disability payments 1 26 and accidental death benefits under the system. This bill 1 27 eliminates the presumption and provides that heart and lung 1 28 disease is deemed to be job-related. 1 29 This bill may include a state mandate as defined in section 1 30 25B.3. The state mandate funding requirement in section 1 31 25B.2, however, does not apply to public employee retirement 1 32 systems. 1 33 LSB 4222SC 76 1 34 ec/sc/14
