Connecticut SB00348 amends workers' compensation coverage for public works department employees.
Connecticut SB00348 modifies the definition of "arising out of and in the course of his employment" for public works department employees. It specifies that "in the course of his employment" includes travel to and from work, even when off duty, under certain conditions. The bill also clarifies that injuries sustained at home or during preliminary acts of work are not compensable unless directed by the employer. Effective October 1, 2026, this change aims to provide clearer guidelines for workers' compensation claims for public works department employees.
