The "New Jersey Physicians Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Protection Act" aims to protect physicians diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by prohibiting employers from discharging, harassing, discriminating, retaliating, or threatening such actions against these employees based on their leave related to a qualifying PTSD diagnosis. The bill defines key terms such as "employee," "employer," and "physician," and stipulates that an employee must be reinstated to their previous position after a leave of absence, provided their fitness to return is documented by a licensed physician or mental health professional who is not the employee.

Additionally, the bill allows employees or former employees to file civil actions in the Superior Court for violations of its provisions, with remedies including civil fines, injunctions, reinstatement, and compensation for lost wages and benefits. The bill specifies that a diagnosis of PTSD must be made by a licensed professional and outlines the conditions under which the diagnosis is considered valid. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
