Assembly Bill 2754 was introduced by Assemblywoman Bass. 

Bill Summary: Existing law establishes a presumption that if certain safety members, firefighters, county probation officers, or members in active law enforcement who have completed 5 years of service under specified pension or retirement systems develop a blood-borne infectious disease, the disease arises out of, and in the course of, employment. Existing law extends this presumption to blood-borne infectious diseases that occur within 3 calendar months after termination for each year of service, up to 60 months. Existing law requires those who are permanently incapacitated for the performance of duty as a result of a blood-borne infectious disease to receive a service-connected disability retirement. This bill would expand the scope of this provision to include any methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection. The bill would make the MRSA presumption applicable for up to 90 days after termination of service, and would also make the presumption applicable to any of the above safety members, regardless of service under the pension or retirement systems. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.
