The retirement and social security law is amended by adding a new section 363-ddd to read as follows: S 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. S 2. This act shall take effect immediately. FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50 and Retirement and Social Security Law Section 25: Re: Fiscal Note #2013-58 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 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD09076-01-3
