Work Comp Bills Hearing on Tuesday

Aloha!

The House Labor Committee has already scheduled two workers' compensation bills that crossed over from the Senate. These bills are moving fast! If they pass the Labor Committee and the Finance Committee schedules them right away, the bills could be sent up to the Governor's office during session, meaning if the Governor vetoes the bills, the Legislature could still override the bills during session. The bills are:

SB 62 Workers' Comp (IME)

SB 695 Workers' Comp (Uninterrupted Medical Treatment)

These bills will be heard on Tuesday, March 3 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 309. Please encourage your members to submit testimony. Please feel free to use the Legislative Action Center website (http://www.cocaction.com/mx/hm.asp?id=LAC), which will enable your members to submit testimony instantly.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your support.
