South Carolina Proposes Mental Workers’ Comp Claims for 1st Responders

If there is any occupation that inevitably takes its toll on the mind, it would have to be first responders. Firefighters, police officers, EMTs and more all face traumatizing situations on a regular basis. Those who work in the industry insist that these incidents take their toll, leading to a high rate of anxiety, depression and suicide.

Seeking to remedy this epidemic, South Carolina legislators introduced a bill early in June that would expand workers’ compensation coverage to include mental health issues. The hope is that with psychological services, therapy, and medications covered, more first responders will have access to the care they need to cope.

If successful, the bill would go a long way towards improving not just the mental health of first responders, but the quality of rescue services in general.

Nikki Haley Vetoes New Moped Laws in South Carolina

A popular moped bill that passed both the South Carolina State House and Senate chambers died on Governor Nikki Haley’s desk earlier this month. If passed into law, the bill would have levied new regulations against moped drivers.

Under current South Carolina code, traffic laws applying to motor vehicles do not apply to mopeds. That loophole means that a person “can be stinking drunk on a moped and can’t be arrested,” in the words of State Sen. Greg Hembree. Someone can also operate a moped on a highway even though the maximum legal speed of such a vehicle is only 30 mph.

Fifty people died in 2015 from moped accidents in South Carolina, and 16 more have died so far in 2016. Legislators will need to push for more concrete definitions and a bare minimum of control over moped operation if they hope to reduce these fatalities in the future.
