HB 1751 -- Missouri State Workers' Compensation Council

Sponsor:  Harris (23)

This bill creates the Missouri State Workers' Compensation
Council which is to annually report to the Governor and the
General Assembly its recommendations for legislation relating to
workers' compensation and submit suggestions on pending
legislation to the appropriate legislative committees.  The
Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will provide the
council with department records, services required, employee
testimony, and recommendations on legislation and rules.  The
council may, except if prohibited by a concurrent resolution of
the General Assembly, commission an outside study of the Missouri
Workers' Compensation Law.  The study will be paid from the
General Revenue Fund in an amount not to exceed $25,000.  The
first study is to begin in Fiscal Year 2009 with a successor
study every five years thereafter.  The council's composition,
terms, appointment requirements, and certain member voting and
nonvoting designations are specified.
