Arizona HB2679 presumes firefighter heart-related, perivascular, or pulmonary injuries as occupational diseases.
Arizona HB2679 amends the state's workers' compensation laws to presume that heart-related, perivascular, or pulmonary injuries or deaths of firefighters are occupational diseases. This presumption applies if the firefighter passed a physical examination before employment and was reasonably aligned with national standards. The presumption can be rebutted if clear evidence shows the injury was caused by a nonoccupational condition.
