Provides certain volunteer and other workers with maximum compensation benefit for workers' compensation claim regardless of outside employment.

This bill ensures certain volunteer workers, including firefighters, first responders, emergency management volunteers, healthcare workers on emergency duty, and others listed in the law, receive the maximum workers' compensation benefit for work-related injuries or deaths - regardless of their income from other jobs. It amends New Jersey law to require compensation based on the state’s maximum rate, eliminating reductions tied to outside employment. The bill also removes the standard seven-day waiting period for these workers’ claims. This clarifies and strengthens existing protections for these volunteer groups, as highlighted in a 2019 court case interpreting the law.
