HB 2369 modifies the workers’ compensation claims process for custodial officers, detention officers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, and peace officers. It allows these employees to request a medical examination to define the extent of a compensable injury and requires insurance carriers to either accept or dispute all related injuries. The bill also establishes time limits for contesting injury claims and mandates that insurance carriers reimburse medical expenses if a claim is later determined to be compensable.
