If upon the evidence mentioned in section 176.875, the Workers' Compensation Division finds that a police officer is suffering from tuberculosis contracted by contact with persons suffering from tuberculosis while the police officer was working within the scope of the officer's employment, it shall require the police officer to seek the services of a physician or a medical care facility.

The police officer shall receive full hospital care and medical care without cost for the duration of the infection of tuberculosis or any recurrence thereof or any disability resulting therefrom. Further, the Workers' Compensation Division shall order payment to the police officer by the state, county or city concerned, of the compensation provided for under the general provisions of the workers' compensation law, including benefits to dependents as defined by the workers' compensation law, if the police officer dies from the effects of the disease of tuberculosis and if the tuberculosis was the primary infection and the authentic cause of death.
