New York S06404 establishes a lung disease presumption for correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff.

New York S06404 amends the retirement and social security law to provide a lung disease presumption for correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors. This means that if these individuals contract lung diseases resulting in disability or death while employed, it will be presumed that the disability was incurred in the performance of duty unless proven otherwise. This presumption applies to those who passed a physical examination before employment that did not reveal any lung disease.
