Introduced by: Onzlee Ware | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Workers' compensation; presumption that injury is work related. Creates a presumption, in the absence of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, that an injury is work related. The presumption arises in a claim for compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act where an employee is physically or mentally unable to testify and there is unrebutted prima facie evidence that the injury was work related. SB 823 is identical.
