Oklahoma bill expands PTSD coverage for first responders’ protection

House Bill 1842, sponsored by Rep. Mark Lepak, would amend Section 13 of the Workers’ Compensation Code (85A O.S. §13) to bolster coverage for mental health injuries — particularly PTSD — incurred by law enforcement officers, firefighters (paid or volunteer), and emergency medical technicians. While PTSD is already a recognized injury for first responders under Oklahoma law, the bill adds a new layer of administrative procedure and safety oversight.
