WORKERS COMPENSATION: Provides relative to accident reporting and access to medical records and information related to claims
HB 618 is a procedural bill that amends existing workers' compensation laws regarding accident reporting and access to medical records. The legislation does not introduce new policies but instead modifies specific sections of current statutes by deleting certain references and removing entire pages of text. These changes affect the legal framework governing how claims are processed and information is shared between employers, employees, and insurers. Because the bill consists solely of text deletions without adding new requirements, it does not alter the fundamental rights or obligations of workers or businesses.
