AZ SB1417

Adds significant pathogen exposures (HIV, hepatitis C, MRSA, meningitis, tuberculosis) as compensable conditions for law enforcement officers under workers' compensation if exposure occurs in line of duty, during arrest, or from assault.

Establishes four exposure levels (Level I through IV) for law enforcement officers, ranging from direct contact with infected blood/fluids to unknown exposure scenarios.

Provides law enforcement officers exposed to pathogens compensation beginning on the date of exposure and covers medical/compensation benefits plus lost time from preventive medication, regardless of whether the disease is eventually contracted.

Requires employees to report significant exposures in writing within 10-30 days depending on pathogen type, with medical testing and diagnosis within specified timeframes to establish prima facie claims.

Modifies Arizona Revised Statutes sections 23-901, 23-1043.02, 23-1043.03, and 23-1043.04 to define "significant exposure" and extend occupational disease coverage to law enforcement officers exposed to communicable diseases.
