Section 3212.10 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Labor Code >> Division 4. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1.
3212.10
. In the case of a peace officer of the Department of
Corrections who has custodial or supervisory duties of inmates or
parolees, or a peace officer of the Department of the Youth Authority
who has custodial or supervisory duties of wards or parolees, or a
peace officer as defined in Section 830.5 of the Penal Code and
employed by a local agency, the term "injury" as used in this
division includes heart trouble, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and
meningitis that develops or manifests itself during a period in which
any peace officer covered under this section is in the service of
the department or unit. The compensation that is awarded for that
injury shall include full hospital, surgical, medical treatment,
disability indemnity, and death benefits as provided by the
provisions of this division.
The heart trouble, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and meningitis so
developing or manifesting itself shall be presumed to arise out of
and in the course of employment. This presumption is disputable and
may be controverted by other evidence, but unless so controverted,
the appeals board is bound to find in accordance with it. This
presumption shall be extended to a member following termination of
service for a period of three calendar months for each full year of
requisite service, but not to exceed 60 months in any circumstance,
commencing with the last date actually worked in the specified
capacity.
