Provides certain volunteer and other workers with maximum compensation benefit for workers' compensation claim regardless of outside employment.

This bill ensures that certain volunteer workers - including firefighters, first aid/rescue squad members, emergency management volunteers, health care workers registered with the Emergency Health Care Provider Registry, and park/forest volunteers - receive the maximum workers' compensation benefit for work-related injuries or deaths, regardless of their outside employment. It removes the seven-day waiting period for these workers and bases compensation on the statutory maximum amount, not their actual income from other jobs. The bill clarifies existing law following a 2019 court ruling (Kocanowski v. Twp. of Bridgewater) that required this maximum benefit for volunteers. It directly affects eligible volunteer workers in emergency services, health care, and public land management roles across New Jersey.
