Provides a line of duty presumption for disabilities of deputy sheriffs in cities with a population of one million or more.

The bill adds a new section to the general municipal law, providing a rebuttable statutory presumption that a qualifying partial or total disability or death related to a heart disease for deputy sheriffs in cities with a population of one million or more was incurred in the performance of duty. This presumption applies unless proven otherwise by competent evidence. The bill also mandates that deputy sheriffs retiring due to such disabilities receive a pension equal to three-fourths of their final average salary.
