Section 3213 Of Chapter 1. General Provisions From California Labor Code >> Division 4. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1.
3213
. In the case of a member of the University of California
Police Department who has graduated from an academy certified by the
Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, when he and all
members of the campus department of which he is a member have
graduated from such an academy, and when any such member is employed
upon a regular, full-time salary, the term "injury" as used in this
division includes heart trouble and pneumonia which develops or
manifests itself during a period while such member is in the service
of such campus department of the University of California Police
Department. The compensation which is awarded for such heart trouble
or pneumonia shall include full hospital, surgical, medical
treatment, disability indemnity, and death benefits as provided by
the provisions of this division.
Such heart trouble or pneumonia so developing or manifesting
itself shall be presumed to arise out of and in the course of the
employment; provided, however, that the member of the University of
California Police Department shall have served five years or more in
such capacity before the presumption shall arise as to the
compensability of heart trouble so developing or manifesting itself.
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 or pneumonia so developing or manifesting
itself in such cases shall in no case be attributed to any disease
existing prior to such development or manifestation.
As used in this section:
(a) "Members" shall be limited to those employees of the
University of California Police Department who are defined as peace
officers in Section 830.2 of the Penal Code.
(b) "Campus" shall include any campus or other installation
maintained under the jurisdiction of the Regents of the University of
California.
(c) "Campus department" means all members of the University of
California Police Department who are assigned and serve on a
particular campus.
