Relates to claims for mental injury premised upon extraordinary work-related stress incurred at work

This bill expands the ability of workers to file claims for mental injuries caused by extraordinary work-related stress. Previously, only specific first responders like police officers and firefighters could make such claims, but this law now applies to all workers. The key provision states that a claims board cannot reject a mental injury claim if it finds the stress experienced was not greater than what typically occurs in a normal work environment. The change aims to provide a clearer standard for evaluating stress-related injury claims across all job types.
