Emergency Preamble
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide forthwith extended workers' compensation benefits for certain emergency personnel in response to the public health emergency presented by the spread of COVID-19, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health.
