1999 SESSION
HB 1970 Workers' comp.; presumption as to death or disability, game wardens.
Introduced by: Watkins M. Abbitt, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Presumption as to death or disability; game wardens. Adds game wardens who are full-time sworn members of the enforcement division of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to the category of employees entitled to the presumptions of § 65.2-402—commonly termed “the heart, lung and hypertension act.” Hypertension or heart disease causing disability or death are presumed to be occupational diseases for employees included within the coverage of this statute. The preponderance can be overcome, however, by competent evidence to the contrary.
