HF 2065: Relating to workers’ compensation claims for mental injuries

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill establishes a requirement for an employee claiming workers’ compensation for an injury of a purely mental nature that is not associated with any physical injury. In order for such an injury to be compensable, the employee claiming the injury must establish that the injury was caused by workplace stress of greater magnitude than the day-to-day mental stresses experienced by other employees employed in the same or similar jobs, regardless of whether such employees are employed by the same employer.
