New Hampshire seeks PTSD comp cover for state troopers
Reprints
A bill was introduced in the New Hampshire state Senate last Wednesday seeking workers compensation cover for state troopers with post-traumatic stress disorder.
S.B. 377 expands the presumption of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, creating a rebuttable presumption that an injury that occurs while a state trooper is operating a state police vehicle in the performance of their official duties is occupationally caused.
The bipartisan bill was introduced on Feb. 16 and Judiciary Committee report was filed Thursday.
