Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

This bill creates a rebuttable presumption that any lung diseases which cause health issues for New York City deputy sheriffs were incurred during the course and discharge of their duties.

The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

Currently, the lung disease presumption exists for New York City Police Officers and Firefighters. As with these professions, the nature of the New York Deputy Sheriffs' law enforcement duties are both stressful and physically strenuous. This bill recognizes that the New York City Deputy Sheriffs should have presumption parity with New York City Police Offi- cers and Firefighters.

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.
