(a) Definitions. As used in sections 608 and 668-d of the Education Law, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1) Impact area:
(i) the secure zone established by the City
of New York comprising that area surrounding the World Trade Center which is
bordered by Broadway to the east, the Hudson River to the west, Chambers Street
to the north and Rector Street to the south during the period of time beginning
at 8:45 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on September 11, 2001 and ending on May
30, 2002; or
(ii) the crash site of
United Airlines flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001;
or
(iii) the crash site of American
Airlines flight 77 on the grounds of the Pentagon on September 11,
2001.
(2) Severely and
permanently disabled. An innocent victim is severely and permanently disabled
when a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, licensed to practice in a state, has
determined that such person is unable to engage in any occupation for
remuneration or profit due to a physical or mental impairment. Such physical or
mental impairment shall have been sustained in the impact area as a direct
result of the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States of America or
while engaged in the subsequent rescue and recovery efforts.
(3) Physical or mental impairment. For
purposes of this section, physical or mental impairment is an impairment
resulting from anatomical, physiological or psychological abnormality which is
demonstrable by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic
techniques and which did not exist prior to September 11, 2001 unless said
impairment was worsened as a direct result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks and now prevents the victim from engaging in any occupation for
remuneration or profit.
