House Bill 1388 amends the Government Code and Labor Code to require that a rebuttal offered against the presumption that certain diseases or illnesses were caused due to an individual's employment as a firefighter or emergency medical technician include a statement describing in detail the evidence reviewed to determine that a cause other than the individual's service caused the disease or illness. Further, the bill prescribes requirements for an insurance carrier's notice of denial of compensation under such circumstances.
