The Arizona Police Association (APA) and AHPA helped craft and support a bill, extending the time to report MRSA. HB 2476 helps officers who contract the disease to get treatment and makes it a compensated industrial injury. The bill will be heard tomorrow (March 15th) afternoon at 2 pm in the senate (Banking and Insurance Committee). It is the last committee hurdle for this piece of APA legislation.
