Relating to the eligibility of a firefighter or emergency medical technician for workers' compensation benefits for infertility.

SB 454 creates a legal presumption that firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are eligible for workers' compensation benefits for infertility if they regularly responded to fire-related calls or to incidents involving radiation or known carcinogens. This means these workers would automatically qualify for benefits without needing to prove a direct link between their infertility and job duties. The bill defines infertility as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. It also requires insurance carriers to provide written notice to employees and the state about their investigation of such claims and the evidence they have before denying benefits.
