SB 377 (2022)

Create assumption that state trooper's injury is occupationally related

This bill did not become law.

Last updated 2024-02-27 4:26 pm
Summary:

Creates a "prima facie presumption" (essentially, an assumption) for the purpose of workers' compensation that a state trooper's PTSD is occupationally related if it stems from an incident that occurred while the trooper was operating a state police vehicle during work.

The Senate amended the bill to more generally create a "prima facie presumption" that an injury that occurs while a state trooper is operating a state police vehicle in the performance of the trooper's official duties is occupationally caused.
