AI Summary
This bill makes several amendments to North Dakota's workers' compensation laws. Key provisions include:
- Defining injuries caused by recreational marijuana use as not compensable.
- Shifting the burden of proof to the employer when claiming an injury was caused by the employee's intoxication or illegal drug use.
- Allowing the workers' compensation organization to charge fees for providing copies of claim files.
- Increasing penalties for employers who willfully misrepresent payroll information or fail to secure workers' compensation coverage.
- Modifying the calculation of temporary total, permanent total, and temporary partial disability benefits.
- Allowing the organization to release claim file information to survivors in death claims.
- Creating penalties for individuals or employers who make false statements or omissions to obtain workers' compensation benefits.
The bill also provides for the application of these changes to all existing claims, regardless of the date of injury.
