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 shifts the standard from requiring intoxication to be the "sole cause" (per a prior court case) to presuming intoxication caused the injury or death when present. The change directly affects employees who suffer workplace injuries while intoxicated, removing their eligibility for compensation without needing employers to prove intoxication was the sole factor. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
