Overview
This bill changes New Jersey’s workers’ compensation law to prevent employees from receiving benefits if they were intoxicated at the time of their injury or death. Specifically, if intoxication is a contributing factor to an injury or death, or if the employee was intoxicated when it occurred, they will be barred from receiving workers’ compensation. This legislation responds to a recent court ruling and aims to update the law to align with current policies.
