Bill > HB1285

This bill amends the Workers' Compensation Act by making a technical change to Section 6, which primarily focuses on employer notice and reporting requirements. The amendment appears to be a minor technical edit, removing and reinserting the word "the" in a section describing employers' obligations to post notices about workers' compensation coverage. The bill maintains existing provisions requiring employers to post printed notices about workers' compensation rights, display information about their insurance or self-insured status, and maintain accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses. The legislation continues to outline detailed requirements for employers, such as reporting deadlines for workplace accidents, the types of injuries that must be reported, and confidentiality provisions for these reports. The bill preserves the existing framework of worker protections and employer responsibilities under the Workers' Compensation Act, with the change appearing to be more of a grammatical correction than a substantive modification to the law.
