Establishing a pilot program for posttraumatic stress disorder treatment and research.
HB 2405 establishes a pilot program to fund workplace behavioral health initiatives focused on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment and research for workers in high-risk occupations. It directs the Department of Labor & Industries to use funds from the workers' compensation medical aid fund to support projects addressing PTSD prevention, trauma-informed reintegration, and mental health programs in workplaces with repetitive trauma exposure. The program specifically allocates resources for innovative return-to-work initiatives targeting PTSD, requiring projects to address occupational PTSD risks identified through department collaboration. This pilot is part of broader workers' compensation funding priorities and does not change existing medical coverage standards for injured workers.

MINOR
The document was updated from a draft 'Substitute Bill' to a final 'Certificate of Enrollment' confirming the bill has passed both the House and Senate. This change is procedural and administrative, certifying the bill's final approval and readiness for the Governor's signature rather than altering any policy, funding, or legal requirements.
TECHNICAL
Added certification text confirming the bill passed the House and Senate with specific vote counts on February 16 and March 5, 2026.
Removed the draft bill number 'H-3356.1' and replaced it with the final enrolled title and legislative session details.
