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 treats heart‑related impairments or death of deputy sheriffs in large cities as presumed to have occurred on the job, unless proven otherwise. It also guarantees that deputies who retire under this presumption receive a pension equal to three‑quarters of their final average salary. The measure aims to protect sheriffs’ deputies from the financial impact of heart disease linked to their duties.
