Provides a heart disease presumption for correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors.

This bill amends the retirement and social security law to establish a presumption that heart disease in correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors is work-related. This presumption applies unless proven otherwise, simplifying the process for these employees to claim accidental disability benefits related to heart disease. The bill also specifies that the presumption does not apply if the employee had evidence of heart disease before entering service.
