Bill > S04832

This bill requires the Workers' Compensation Board to submit an annual supplemental report starting February 1, 2027, in addition to their existing annual report. The report must be submitted to the governor, assembly speaker, and senate president, and include comprehensive data about the board's operations and claims processing. Specifically, the report must cover the board's current status and modernization recommendations, the total number of claims filed, the number of claims with awards or decisions, the average processing time for claims, details about claims that take longer than average to resolve, information about potentially frivolous employer appeals, and any other relevant data the board chair deems useful. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency and accountability in the workers' compensation system by providing detailed annual insights into the board's performance, claim processing efficiency, and potential areas for improvement. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
