Bill Analysis
Under current law, an injured employee of the Texas workers’ compensation system is provided notice concerning their rights and responsibilities. HB 3702 would require such a notice to inform the employee that they have the right to choose a licensed treating doctor.

Given the procedural nature of this bill, HB 3702 neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
