Arizona HB2204 establishes presumptions for occupational diseases and post-traumatic stress disorder in first responders.
Arizona HB2204 amends workers' compensation laws to establish presumptions for certain occupational diseases and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in first responders. It presumes that cancers, heart-related or perivascular conditions, and PTSD are occupational diseases if specific conditions are met, such as passing a physical examination before employment and exposure to known events. The bill also mandates a program for licensed counseling for public safety employees exposed to traumatic events, with up to twelve visits allowed.
