Bill Summary
COVID-19; education employees workers' compensation presumption provided.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a presumption that education employees who contract COVID-19 have an occupational disease arising out of and in the course of their employment, making them eligible for workers' compensation benefits. The presumption applies to teachers, school administrators, and other school personnel, including contract employees providing student-related services, if their COVID-19 diagnosis is confirmed by a positive test or documented by a medical professional. The employer can rebut the presumption only by showing the employment was not a direct cause of the disease. The bill also requires reporting on COVID-19 workers' compensation claims and is effective retroactively from July 15, 2020 until July 30, 2021.
