These injuries include, but are not limited <br /> to, hernia, pneumonia, heart trouble, cancer, meningitis, and exposure <br /> to a biochemical substances, when the illness or condition develops or <br /> manifests itself during a period when the officer or employee is in <br /> service of his or her employer, as specified. <br /> This bill would expand the coverage of the above provisions relating <br /> to compensable injury, to include all peace officers described under <br /> specified provisions of law. To the extent that the bill would apply the <br /> provisions to additional local peace officers, the bill would impose a <br /> state-mandated local program. <br /> The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local <br /> agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. <br /> Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. <br /> 98 <br />
