House Bill No. 6905 mandates the Workers' Compensation Commission to conduct a comprehensive study of the workers' compensation system in the state. The commission is required to report the findings of this study to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees labor and public employees by January 1, 2026. The report may also include recommendations for potential legislative changes to improve the workers' compensation system.
The bill introduces new legal language that establishes this requirement for the study, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. There are no deletions from current law in this bill. Additionally, the fiscal impact of the bill is assessed as neutral, as the Workers' Compensation Commission possesses the necessary expertise to carry out the study without incurring additional costs to the state or municipalities.
