Governor Bill Lee signed Tennessee House Bill 310 into law, expanding workers' comp benefits for first responders diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Effective July 1, 2025, law enforcement officers and emergency medical responders will receive the same benefits as firefighters, with a presumption that PTSD was incurred in the line of duty. The legislation aims to strengthen mental health support for those who serve on the front lines.
