Senate Bill 1582 amends the Government Code and Labor Code to make applicable to qualifying peace officers provisions relating to a determination of whether disability or death resulted from a disease or illness contracted in the course and scope of employment for the purposes of benefits provided under certain employee benefit plans. The bill entitles a peace officer who operates an ambulance or who responds to emergency medical calls to preventative immunization for any disease to which the officer may be exposed in performing official duties and for which immunization is possible.
