BILL NUMBER: S3770 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to impairments of health, presumption and staph/MRSA PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill intends to provide to police officers and firefighters a proper pension in case of employment related disabilities associated with MRSA. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : This bill would provide a 75% accidental disability benefit for police officers and firefighters provide the assumption that methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus was contracted in the line of duty. JUSTIFICATION : Due to the increased exposure which police officers and firefighters have to those individuals who have methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus and to protect the families of those police officers and firefighters who are so exposed, a presumption that the individual is disabled from the performance of duties is warranted. The retirement system has the burden of proving otherwise. This

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 3770 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 26, 2017 ___________ Introduced by Sen. AKSHAR -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to impairments of health, presumption and staph/MRSA THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The retirement and social security law is amended by adding a new section 363-ddd to read as follows: § 363-DDD. IMPAIRMENTS OF HEALTH; PRESUMPTION; STAPH/MRSA. NOTWITH- STANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS CHAPTER OR OF ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL OR LOCAL LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY POLICE OFFICER OR FIREFIGHTER WHO IS COVERED BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION THREE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE OF THIS TITLE AND WHO CONTRACTS METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) OR STAPH/MRSA WILL BE PRESUMED TO HAVE CONTRACTED SUCH DISEASE IN THE PERFORMANCE OR DISCHARGE OF HIS OR HER DUTIES AS THE NATURAL AND PROXIMATE RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT AND TO BE DISABLED FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER DUTIES UNLESS THE CONTRARY BE PROVEN BY COMPETENT EVIDENCE. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill will affect certain members of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System by presuming that contracting MRSA or Staph/MRSA will qualify them for an accidental disability retirement, unless the contrary be proven by competent evidence. If this bill is enacted, it would lead to more disabilities being classified as "accidental". For the disabilities so classified due to this bill, the cost would depend on whether such person would have otherwise been eligible for an ordinary disability, a performance of duty disability or a service retirement. For those who contract such disease prior to being eligible to receive an ordinary disability retirement, it is estimated that there would be an average per person EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
