Overview
This bill aims to provide workers' compensation benefits to certain public safety workers in New Jersey who developed illnesses or injuries as a result of responding to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The bill also outlines procedures for record-keeping and notification to affected workers and their families.
