This amendment makes clear there is a rebuttable presumption that a suicide of a first responder is a death in the line of duty, whether the first responder is on active duty or not at the time of the suicide, and the burden is on the employer to demonstrate that such death was not a death in the line of duty by a preponderance of the evidence. This amendment adds 9-1-1 dispatchers and retired first responders to the definition of covered person.
