Provides employment protections for certain medical professionals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder under certain conditions.

This bill (A2722, the "New Jersey Medical Professional Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Protection Act") protects medical professionals who develop work-related PTSD. It prohibits employers from firing, harassing, or discriminating against these employees for taking leave related to a qualifying PTSD diagnosis. To qualify, the PTSD must be diagnosed by a licensed professional and linked to trauma experienced directly during work duties or vicarious trauma from work (e.g., hearing about traumatic cases). Employers must reinstate employees to their prior position after leave if fitness to return is documented, and violations carry civil fines ($5,000 first offense, $10,000 subsequent) plus remedies like back pay and attorney fees. The law applies to doctors, nurses, therapists, and other licensed healthcare providers.
