Provides workers' compensation benefits for public safety workers injured or ill from the September 11, 2001 attacks.
New Jersey S1379 establishes a presumption of workers' compensation benefits for public safety workers who developed illnesses or injuries as a result of responding to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This presumption applies regardless of when the worker files the claim, provided it is within two years of the bill's effective date. The bill mandates that the Division of Archives and Records Management and other public safety entities notify active and retired personnel and next-of-kin of this presumption.
