The bill amends existing legislation regarding the notification of fire fighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) after exposure to infectious diseases. It specifically updates the definition of "infectious disease" to include coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), alongside previously recognized diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Additionally, the bill expands the scope of occupational disability benefits to include EMTs, ensuring that any active fire fighter, police officer, or EMT who is unable to perform their duties due to exposure to an infectious disease is entitled to receive occupational disability benefits.

The bill also includes new legislative findings and clarifies the definitions of key terms related to the legislation. It updates references to the applicable chapters of the law that govern the benefits for those affected by occupational disabilities due to infectious diseases. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
