Workers' compensation; extend eligibility for first responders to 5 years.

SB 2739 extends the deadline for first responders in Mississippi to file workers' compensation claims from 2 years to 5 years after an injury or death, regardless of whether they notified their employer. This change directly affects firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other defined first responders who need to seek compensation for work-related injuries. The bill amends existing law to bar claims after 5 years for first responders (previously 2 years for most workers), ensuring they have more time to file without needing to prove employer notice was received.
