By Mr. Creedon, a petition (accompanied by bill, Senate, No. 1446) of Robert S. Creedon, Jr. and Thomas P. Kennedy for legislation relative to disability or death caused by certain conditions of cancer. Public Service |
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1.
Whereas,
the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is
to provide a cancer presumption for members of the state police assigned to
investigate fires at the fire investigation unit at the Department of Fire Services,
therefore, it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public convenience.
Notwithstanding
any general or special law to the contrary, section 94B of chapter 32 of the
General Laws, as appearing in the 2002 Official Edition is hereby amended by
inserting in line 5 after the word “department” the following new words:- or
a member of the State Police assigned to the fire investigation unit of the
Department of Fire Services.
SECTION 2. Section 94B of chapter 32 is further amended by inserting in line 28 after the word “fire” the new words:- or their investigation at the scene.
