HB 467
AN ACT relating to workers' compensation for educators.
In Plain Language
This bill expands workers' compensation coverage for teachers and other educators to include psychological injuries even when there's no physical injury involved. It defines who counts as an educator and sets rules for when mental health conditions qualify for compensation. This allows educators to file workers' comp claims for conditions like trauma or stress-related disorders that stem from their work.
Official summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 342, relating to workers' compensation, to define "educator;" set out when psychological injuries are valid workers' compensation claims for educators when no physical injury exists; amend KRS 342.0011 to modify definition of "injury" to include certain psychological injuries experienced by educators.
