SB 6302 - DIGEST

     Declares that multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome due to workplace exposure to chemicals is an occupational disease compensable under title 51.32 RCW.

     Declares that a worker who has been diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome prior to experiencing symptoms of a work-related occupational disease due to chemical exposure does not need to prove that the occupational disease arises naturally and proximately out of employment.  The worker need prove only that work-related conditions contributed to, aggravated, exacerbated, or accelerated the preexisting multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome.
