What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes various changes to the Council on Worker's Compensation in

the Department of Workforce Development. Under current law, the council consists

of a designated employee of DWD who serves as chairperson, five representatives of

employers, five representatives of employees, and, as nonvoting members, three

representatives of worker's compensation insurers authorized to do business in this

state. Under the bill, the proportion of representatives of employees who are

representatives of organized labor on the council must be the same as the proportion
