New York A09655 amends the volunteer firefighters' benefit law to establish a presumption that any condition of impairment of health caused by Parkinson's disease, resulting in total or partial disability or death to a volunteer firefighter, is the natural and proximate result of an accident incurred in the performance of duty, unless proven otherwise by competent evidence.
