Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation includes law enforecement officers as part of an existing rebuttable presumption under the workers' compensation law relating to firefighters.  Because the number of fatalities that the State has experienced in this area has been low, this bill is not expected to have a significant fiscal impact on the State as an employer.
