Bill Summary
For legislation to further regulate workers' compensation benefits. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 27 of Chapter 152 of the General Laws, which governs workers' compensation benefits in Massachusetts. The key change is that an employee who is injured due to their own "serious willful misconduct," including intoxication or unlawful use of controlled substances, will not receive workers' compensation benefits. However, this provision does not apply if the injury results in the employee's death, in which case their dependents would still be eligible for benefits.
