Legislation: 9/11 Health
In February 2009 I introduced along with Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Peter King (R-NY), and Michael McMahon, H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health Compensation Act.
H.R. 847, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act would:
- Provide medical monitoring and treatment to WTC responders and survivors (area workers, residents, students and others) who were exposed to toxins released at Ground Zero,
- Build on the existing monitoring and treatment program by delivering expert medical treatment for these unique exposures at Centers of Excellence,
- Reopen the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund to provide compensation for economic losses and harm as an alternative to the current litigation system, and
- Provide liability protections for the WTC contractors and the City of New York.
