 Bill would save the state $1.2 billion in its first two years of implementation.
Workers' comp reform bill ESB 5566 is still in the House Labor Committee after passing through the Senate with a bipartisan 34-15 vote last month.
This bill's key provision allows injured workers to accept a lump-sum settlement rather than a lifetime pension. This could save the state $1.2 billion in the bill's first two years of implementation.
