Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona’s workers’ compensation laws to specifically address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions in first responders. It expands the definition of ‘first responder’ to include various emergency personnel like firefighters, paramedics, and public safety telecommunicators, and clarifies how injuries related to PTSD, such as heart-related or perivascular conditions, are considered occupational diseases. The bill also updates definitions related to employment and compensation to ensure broader coverage for these essential workers.
