BILL NUMBER: S661 SPONSOR: SANDERS TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to providing a claim-filing opportunity for the widows and dependents of workers who died as a result of cancer caused by exposure to diesel exhaust PURPOSE: An act to temporarily amend the worker's compensation law for death benefits with relation to cancers caused by diesel exhaust exposure. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: In adopting this act (new workers compensation law 16-a), it is the intent of the legislature to allow for a filing of a claim within one year from the effective date of this section for death benefits due to cancer caused by exposure to diesel exhaust, superseding other legal provisions which would bar such claims due to time-constraints.
