Existing law provides for the payment of compensation for temporary or permanent disability or death for diseases of the lungs caused by exposure to heat, smoke, fumes, tear gas or any other noxious gases, arising out of and in the course of employment for certain firefighters, arson investigators and police officers. Existing law also provides that a disease of the lungs is conclusively presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of employment for firefighters, arson investigators and police officers who have been employed in such a full-time continuous, uninterrupted and salaried occupation for 2 or more years before the date of disablement under certain circumstances. (NRS 617.455) Section 1 of this bill provides that this conclusive presumption for such firefighters, arson investigators and police officers is not conditioned on whether the disease of the lungs was caused by exposure to heat, smoke, fumes, tear gas or any other noxious gas. Section 2 of this bill provides that this conclusive presumption for such firefighters, arson investigators and police officers applies retroactively to claims filed on or before the effective date of this bill.
