Bill Summary

Relative to workers' compensation disfigurement benefits concerning scarring. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends the workers' compensation law in Massachusetts to expand the disfigurement benefits available for scarring. Specifically, it extends the coverage of disfigurement benefits for scarring from the hands to areas distally (furthest from the body) to the elbows and knees. This change provides additional compensation for workers who suffer disfiguring scars beyond just the hands, recognizing the broader impact such scarring can have.
