This Act expands eligibility for Line-of-Duty disability benefits to paid firefighters who work for municipal fire departments and to fire service instructors and fire marshals who work for the State and for nonphysical disabilities. This Act also creates a presumption that a covered firefighter who is permanently disabled from heart disease, lung disease, cancer, or post-traumatic stress injury developed the disabling condition because of and in the course of performing official duties. This Act also provides a list of reasons may be used to rebut this presumption and requires fire companies to keep records of each firefighter's exposure to carcinogens. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
