What's happening this week in workers' compensation? IWP's weekly legislative wrap-up, State of the States, keeps you up to date on important matters within the workers' compensation and pharmacy arena.
This week's legislative wrap-up contains updates including:
- A new bill working its way through the Michigan Senate would presume that police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and correctional officers who contracted COVID-19 did so in the scope of their employment and are thus eligible for workers' compensation benefits.
- In Ohio, the Governor signed a new bill that appropriates funding for the Bureau of Workers' Compensation and reduces the statute of limitations for an occupational disease claim.
- The Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) will hold a hearing regarding its proposed fee schedule on Thursday, June 29, at 1 PM MST.
