Amends existing law to remove a sunset clause from a provision that makes psychological injuries suffered by first responders compensable.
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.

Amends existing law to remove a requirement that adjusting offices or officers be located within the state and that adjusters be residents of the state.
This legislation removes outdated language added to Idaho Code in 1971 requiring worker compensation insurance companies to have a physical location in Idaho or only contract with Idaho resident adjusters.
