Firefighter Occupational Disease Bill Signed into Law
On April 8th, 2009 Senate Bill 303 our landmark legislation for the protection of Fire Fighters became law. Governor Bill Richardson signed the bill at Albuquerque Fire Sation #1 in the presence of IAFF General President Schaitberger, Local 244 Union President Diego Arencon, Fire Chief Robert Ortega and many fire fighters from all over New Mexico.The law will provide an occupational disease presumption for fire fighters for the purpose of making Workers Comp claims. The diseases covered are eleven cancers and five infectious disease. There is a provision for cardiovascular injuries sustained within 24 hours of worked related physical activity. With the implementation of this law, New Mexico becomes the 43rd State to recognize the unique hazards that fire fighters face every day.
