Missouri HB3096 establishes a rebuttable presumption for cancer and other occupational diseases in firefighters and fire investigators.
Missouri HB3096 modifies workers' compensation provisions for firefighters and fire investigators, establishing a rebuttable presumption that certain cancers and other occupational diseases are work-related. Firefighters and fire investigators who contract cancer are presumed to have done so due to their employment if they were regularly assigned to hazardous duty for at least five years. The bill also presumes heart-related, perivascular, or pulmonary conditions in these workers to be occupational diseases if they passed a pre-employment physical exam without evidence of such conditions.
