The sponsor's argument

Why Lea Webb says this is needed

In 2022, Chapter 559 was enacted to expand access to workers' compen- sation for those that served during the World Trade Center rescue and recovery in the wake of September 11, 2001. The measure allows for presumptive evidence to be accepted from workers who contracted an illness or died of a certified illness related to their time serving during and in the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, brave members of the New York State National Guard who were on state active duty to participate in the World Trade Center rescue, recovery and clean-up operations and who were injured in the line of duty were prevented from accessing workers' compensation made available by this law. This legislation will enable those members of the National Guard that were injured in the line of duty or suffer from certified illness as a result of their efforts to access worker's compensation.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
