Public hearings held virtually have proven effective in allowing greater public access, eliminating the burden of physical travel, and maintaining public safety. Accordingly, this public hearing will not be held in person. 

This adoption extends the occupational disease presumption to law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians (EMT), and fire investigators as well as updates the list of covered conditions. This rulemaking also allows a presumption of occupational disease for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for firefighters, EMTs, and law enforcement officers. The rulemaking implements House Bill 1913 and Substitute Senate Bill 6214.
