Key provisions include: - Establishing liability rules for leased employees and allowing clients to elect to provide insurance coverage for leased employees, in which case the client would be liable for the leased employee's worker's compensation claims. - Creating a new provision for compensation of mental injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, for certain first responders like law enforcement officers and firefighters. - Modifying the statute of limitations for occupational disease and certain traumatic injuries. - Requiring employers to provide treatment for mental injuries for up to 32 weeks after the injury is first reported. - Allowing employers or insurers to make advance lump-sum payments for certain death benefits payable to the state, and providing an interest credit for such advance payments. - Prohibiting worker's compensation benefits if an employee's injury is caused by their violation of the employer's drug or alcohol policy.
