This bill removes the sunset clause of Idaho Code 72-451 which was introduced and passed in 2019 as enumerated in 2019 Idaho Session Law, Chapter 68; making this statute permanent. Idaho Code 72-451 identifies Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) as an occupational injury that affects Idaho’s first responders (as defined in statute). If a first responder has “clear and convincing” evidence of a physiological injury, the treatment would be handled through worker’s compensation.
