FL S1314

Expands the definition of diseases covered under occupational disease presumptions for emergency rescue and public safety workers to include any infectious disease declared a public health emergency under Florida law, not just hepatitis, meningococcal meningitis, and tuberculosis.

Creates a presumption that emergency rescue or public safety workers who contract a covered infectious disease during a public health emergency did so in the line of duty, unless proven otherwise by competent evidence.

Requires workers to submit a written affidavit verifying they contracted the disease during the emergency and were not exposed outside their employment scope to be eligible for the presumption.

Mandates that any required vaccines or immunizations must be approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration; workers may refuse immunization only if their physician provides written documentation that it poses a significant health risk.

Requires employers to maintain exposure records and immediately notify employees of known or suspected occupational exposures to covered diseases.
