Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to requiring the workers' compensation board to submit a supplemental report every year thereafter

AI Summary

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