Relating to the eligibility of certain first responders for workers' compensation benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder under the workers' compensation system.

HB 2414 creates a new presumption that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suffered by specific first responders is covered under Texas workers' compensation. It directly affects peace officers, emergency medical personnel (including paramedics), and certified firefighters whose duties include firefighting or aircraft rescue. The bill presumes PTSD is work-related unless proven otherwise, shifting the burden of proof to employers, and sets the "date of injury" as when the responder first knew or should have known the condition was work-related. This changes how claims for PTSD are processed for these workers under Texas law.
