Kentucky bill proposes workers’ comp expansion for PTSD in first responders

House Bill 1228 creates a carveout to Kentucky’s long-standing rule that excludes psychological injuries from workers’ compensation coverage unless directly caused by physical harm. The bill, which applies to police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, front-line state workers, and Kentucky National Guard members, introduces a presumption of compensability for PTSD diagnoses stemming from job-related trauma.
