Bill Analysis

HB 1752 would allow the Division of Worker's Compensation to conduct a benefit review via video conference or, pending good cause, in person. In the event a benefit review is conducted in person it cannot be held more than 75 miles from the claimant’s residence at the time of the injury.

Vote Recommendation Notes

As HB 1752 does not appear to affect our liberty principles so we remain neutral.
