Allows first responders who are diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder to request line of duty sick leave

This bill allows firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel (first responders) diagnosed with work-related PTSD by a licensed psychiatrist to request paid sick leave starting from their diagnosis date. It requires employers to grant this line-of-duty sick leave without reducing accrued sick or vacation time, and compensates first responders at their regular pay rate for missed work hours. The bill also prohibits employers from taking adverse actions (like discipline or demotion) against first responders who use this leave. Smaller municipalities will receive state reimbursement for the costs, and affected employees will get retroactive sick leave restoration from their diagnosis date.
