Statement from Comptroller Susana Mendoza on House passage of two COVID first responder bills.
Description
I am thrilled to see House lawmakers vote unanimously for HB 4321, extending the presumption that a downstate firefighter or police officer who contracted COVID-19 in the days before vaccines, did so on the job. This will ensure they receive the pension disability benefits they deserve. Thank you to sponsors Representative Michael Kelly and Assistant Minority Leader John Cabello for taking on this important cause.
