Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 1 of section 65-05-08 and section 65-05-09.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the workers' compensation disability benefits and retirement presumption; and to repeal sections 65-05-09.4 and 65-05-09.5 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to workers' compensation additional benefits payable; and to provide for application.

AI Summary

This bill amends North Dakota's workers' compensation laws. It changes the requirements for reinstating disability benefits and the presumption of retirement. Specifically, it removes the requirement that an injured employee must not have retired or voluntarily withdrawn from the job market to be eligible for reinstated disability benefits. It also narrows the retirement presumption, applying it only to employees who are not actively seeking employment, available for gainful employment, and have not rejected job offers or provided notice of a scheduled retirement date. The bill also repeals two sections related to additional workers' compensation benefits payable and applies the changes to all claims regardless of the date of injury.
