Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends federal workers' compensation law to establish a presumption that certain diseases are work-related for civilian federal employees exposed to toxic burn pits during foreign contingency operations. Eligible employees from agencies including the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and others who worked at least 30 days in countries where the U.S. conducted contingency operations on or after August 2, 1990, can claim these diseases without proving causation. The bill aligns the list of presumed diseases with those established for veterans under VA law and requires the Secretary of Labor to update the list whenever the VA adds new diseases.
