Bill Summary

AN ACT To enact R.S. 23:1310.5.1, relative to workers' compensation; to provide for motions to stay; to require the granting of a motion to stay under certain circumstances; to require status conferences; to prohibit dismissal on the grounds of abandonment; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill enacts a new section in Louisiana's workers' compensation law to provide for stays of proceedings in workers' compensation cases. Specifically, it requires a workers' compensation judge to grant an uncontested or joint motion to stay the proceedings, and the stay will remain in effect as long as the parties agree. The bill also requires the judge to schedule status conferences at least every six months during the pendency of the stay, and it exempts cases subject to a stay order from the state's abandonment provisions.
