Arizona bill would provide comp for first responders with PTSD

The Arizona House of Representatives passed a bill Feb. 20 that would give first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder workers compensation coverage.

H.B. 2501, passed on a 57-2 vote, would provide coverage under workers comp and access to specialized therapy and trauma counselors, according to the bill’s latest text.

H.B. 2501 is now being considered by a Senate committee.
