The Insurance Association of Connecticut (IAC) is opposing a bill in the state Senate that would expand workers' compensation coverage to include post-traumatic stress under specific circumstances.
In a statement to the state Senate Labor and Public Employees Committee, IAC President Bob Kehmna said the association has serious issues with the bill's current language and that, if passed, it could undo reforms the legislature put in place in 1993.
The problem, he said, is that the way the proposed statute's wording "would lend itself to expansive interpretation and implementation," and does not clearly define the meaning of certain terms.
