Massachusetts S1785 presumes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in correctional employees as work-related if not detected in physical exams.

Massachusetts S1785 amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to presume that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in correctional employees is work-related if the condition was not detected in a physical examination. This presumption applies to conditions resulting in total or partial disability or death, provided the employee passed a physical examination upon entry or subsequently. The law aims to ensure that such conditions are recognized as occupational hazards unless proven otherwise.
