Section 3212.7 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Labor Code >> Division 4. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1.
3212.7
. In the case of an employee in the Department of Justice
falling within the "state safety" class, when any such individual is
employed under civil service upon a regular, full-time salary, the
term "injury," as used in this division, includes heart trouble or
hernia or pneumonia or tuberculosis which develops or manifests
itself during the period while such individual is in the service of
the Department of Justice. The compensation which is awarded for any
such injury shall include full hospital, surgical, medical treatment,
disability indemnity, and death benefits as provided by the
provisions of this division.
Such heart trouble, hernia, pneumonia, or tuberculosis so
developing or manifesting itself shall be presumed to arise out of
and in the course of the 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
the requisite service, but not to exceed 60 months in any
circumstance, commencing with the last date actually worked in the
specified capacity.
Such heart trouble, hernia, pneumonia, or tuberculosis developing
or manifesting itself in such cases shall in no case be attributed to
any disease existing prior to such development or manifestation.
