Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
It is estimated that HB 2874, if enacted in its current form, may result in an increase in workers compensation costs for volunteer firefighters, however, we are unable to provide a specific estimated cost impact due to lack of available data.
The impact of extending the rebuttable presumption to volunteer firefighters is expected to result in an increase to premiums commensurate to the level of increase in claims costs attributable to the presumption. The impact amount is immeasurable at this time.
