HB 1110 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Workers' compensation commission; require emergency hearing upon request of either party.

HB 1110 requires Mississippi's Workers' Compensation Commission to hold an emergency hearing within 20 days if either a worker (claimant) or employer requests one. This applies directly to parties involved in contested workers' compensation claims needing urgent resolution. The bill amends Section 71-3-47 to mandate this 20-day timeline for emergency hearings, replacing the previous discretionary process. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
