Recognizing posttraumatic stress disorder as an occupational disease for county coroners, examiners, and investigative personnel.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill recognizes posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an occupational disease for county coroners, examiners, and investigative personnel in Washington state. This means these individuals could be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if they develop PTSD due to their job duties. For those hired after January 1, 2026, this recognition generally applies if they had a pre-employment psychological exam ruling out existing PTSD, unless the employer did not provide the exam.
