Prevents intoxicated employees from receiving workers' compensation.

This bill amends New Jersey's workers' compensation law to bar employees from receiving benefits if they were intoxicated at the time of a work-related injury or death. It changes the standard from requiring intoxication to be the "sole cause" (as previously interpreted by courts) to creating a presumption that intoxication caused the injury or death when present. Employees would need to prove intoxication wasn't a contributing factor to receive compensation. The change directly affects workers injured while intoxicated during employment, shifting the burden of proof to them.
