1 10 Section 1. Section 100B.11, subsection 2, paragraph b,
1 11 subparagraph (1), Code Supplement 2003, is amended to read as
1 12 follows:
1 13 (1) (a) The death resulted from stress, strain,
1 14 occupational illness, or a chronic, progressive, or congenital
1 15 illness, including, but not limited to, a disease of the
1 16 heart, lungs, or respiratory system, unless a traumatic
1 17 personal injury was a substantial contributing factor to the
1 18 volunteer emergency services provider's death.
1 19 (b) However, if the death was the direct and proximate
1 20 result of a heart attack or stroke, the volunteer emergency
1 21 services provider shall be presumed to have died as a result
1 22 of a traumatic personal injury if the provider engaged in a
1 23 nonroutine stressful or strenuous physical activity within the
1 24 scope of the provider's duties and the death resulted while
1 25 engaging in that activity, while still on duty after engaging
1 26 in that activity, or not later than twenty-four hours after
1 27 engaging in that activity, and the presumption is not overcome
1 28 by competent medical evidence to the contrary. For purposes
1 29 of this subparagraph subdivision, "nonroutine stressful or
1 30 strenuous physical activity" includes, but is not limited to,
1 31 nonroutine stressful or strenuous physical law enforcement,
1 32 fire suppression, rescue, hazardous material response,
1 33 emergency medical services, prison security, disaster relief,
1 34 emergency response, and training exercise activities.
1 35 "Nonroutine stressful or strenuous physical activity" does not
2 1 include activities of a clerical, administrative, or nonmanual
2 2 nature.
