20disease or condition, hypertension, tuberculosis, or cancer
21resulting in any disability (temporary, permanent, total, or
22partial) to the employee shall be rebuttably presumed to arise
23out of and in the course of the employee's firefighting, EMT,
24EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic employment and, further, shall be
25rebuttably presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or
26exposures of the employment. This presumption shall also apply

 

 

SB1658- 35 -LRB100 06579 JLS 16620 b

1to any hernia or hearing loss suffered by an employee employed
2as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic. However,
3this presumption shall not apply to any employee who has been
4employed as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic for
5less than 5 years at the time he or she files an Application
6for Adjustment of Claim concerning this condition or impairment
7with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. The
8rebuttable presumption established under this subsection,
9however, does not apply to an emergency medical technician
10(EMT), emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I),
11advanced emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic
12employed by a private employer if the employee spends the
13preponderance of his or her work time for that employer engaged
14in medical transfers between medical care facilities or
15non-emergency medical transfers to or from medical care
16facilities. The changes made to this subsection by this
17amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly shall be narrowly
18construed. The Finding and Decision of the Illinois Workers'
19Compensation Commission under only the rebuttable presumption
20provision of this paragraph shall not be admissible or be
21deemed res judicata in any disability claim under the Illinois
22Pension Code arising out of the same medical condition;
23however, this sentence makes no change to the law set forth in
24Krohe v. City of Bloomington, 204 Ill.2d 392.
25    The insurance carrier liable shall be the carrier whose
26policy was in effect covering the employer liable on the last

 

 

SB1658- 36 -LRB100 06579 JLS 16620 b

1day of the exposure rendering such employer liable in
2accordance with the provisions of this Act.
3    (e) "Disablement" means an impairment or partial
4impairment, temporary or permanent, in the function of the body
5or any of the members of the body, or the event of becoming
6disabled from earning full wages at the work in which the
7employee was engaged when last exposed to the hazards of the
8occupational disease by the employer from whom he or she claims
9compensation, or equal wages in other suitable employment; and
10"disability" means the state of being so incapacitated.
11    (f) No compensation shall be payable for or on account of
12any occupational disease unless disablement, as herein
13defined, occurs within two years after the last day of the last
14exposure to the hazards of the disease, except in cases of
15occupational disease caused by berylliosis or by the inhalation
16of silica dust or asbestos dust and, in such cases, within 3
17years after the last day of the last exposure to the hazards of
18such disease and except in the case of occupational disease
19caused by exposure to radiological materials or equipment, and
20in such case, within 25 years after the last day of last
21exposure to the hazards of such disease.
