HB 908 Workers' compensation; agreement to compensation.

Introduced by: Beverly J. Sherwood | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Agreement to compensation. Requires the Workers' Compensation Commission (the Commission) to approve all memorandums of agreement when all parties are represented by counsel. If one or more parties are not represented by a licensed attorney, the Commission shall review and approve the memorandum of agreement if the agreement is fair and reasonable to all parties. Current law requires the Commission to review all agreements and approve only when the Commission is clearly of the opinion that the best interests of the employee or his dependents will be served by the agreement. The bill also removes the requirement that employers file memorandums of agreement with the Commission within 14 days of its written execution.
