One or more compensable mental impairment claims arising out of a single accident shall constitute a single injury. Furthermore, a mental impairment shall not be considered an occupational disease if it results from a disciplinary action, work evaluation, job transfer, layoff, demotion, promotion, termination, retirement, or similar action taken in good faith by the employer.
This act is identical to SB 710 (2020) and a provision in SCS/HB 1559 (2020) and substantially similar to HB 1739 (2020), HB 1965 (2020), and SB 281 (2019).
