Summary

Under existing law, a person injured in the course of employment is generally entitled to receive workers' compensation on account of that injury. Existing law provides that, in the case of certain state and local firefighting personnel and peace officers, the term "injury" includes various medical conditions that are developed or manifested during a period while the member is in the service of the department or unit, and establishes a disputable presumption in this regard. This bill would provide, for injuries occurring after January 1, 2021, that in the case of private sector emergency medical services personnel contracted with a state, local, tribal, or special district to provide emergency medical services, the term "injury" also includes post-traumatic stress that develops or manifests itself during a period in which the injured person is providing emergency medical services pursuant to a contract with the state agency, local agency, tribe, or special district. The bill would prohibit compensation from being paid for a claim of injury unless the person has been contracted with for at least 6 months, unless the injury is caused by a sudden and extraordinary employment condition.
