Provides for a line of duty presumption for disabilities of deputy sheriffs in certain cities

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the municipal law that assumes heart‑related impairments or death of deputy sheriffs in large cities occurred on the job, unless proven otherwise. It also sets the pension for retirees who qualify under this presumption at three‑quarters of their final average salary. This aims to protect deputy sheriffs who develop heart conditions after passing a clean entry physical.
