Overview: H 2122 is a bill titled "An Act providing worker compensation protection to emergency response and medical personnel related to COVID-19 infection." The bill was introduced on February 27, 2025, and the reporting date has been extended to Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of this bill is to provide worker's compensation protections for emergency response and medical personnel who contract COVID-19 while performing their duties. This is likely intended to ensure these essential workers are covered and supported if they become ill due to their exposure to the virus.
Key Provisions:
- Extends worker's compensation coverage to emergency response and medical personnel who contract COVID-19 in the course of their employment
- Establishes a presumption that COVID-19 infections among these workers are work-related, making it easier for them to access benefits
- May include provisions for medical treatment, lost wages, and other compensation related to COVID-19 illnesses
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- The primary beneficiaries of this bill would be emergency response and medical personnel, who would gain access to worker's compensation protections if they contract COVID-19 on the job.
- Employers of these essential workers, such as hospitals, fire departments, and emergency medical services, may also be impacted by the expanded coverage requirements.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The reporting date for H 2122 has been extended to December 3, 2025, indicating the legislative committee is still reviewing and working on the bill.
- The extended timeline suggests the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process, and its ultimate passage and enactment remain uncertain.
