More PTSD protections for first responders
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee extends firefighters’ existing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) protections to law enforcement officers and emergency medical responders. Emergency medical responders include emergency medical technicians, emergency medical technician-paramedics, and paramedics. Covered officers work for government law enforcement agencies, mainly preventing and detecting crime and arresting offenders. Covered local employers include cities, counties, metropolitan governments, and other local government units. Tennessee and its state agencies are covered employers only for law enforcement officers. The law does not specify a dollar benefit or spell out the existing protections’ detailed terms.
