Workers' Compensation Commission; revise provision related to.
SB 2839 is a procedural bill that updates the official name of Mississippi's Workers' Compensation Commission to "Workers' Compensation Commission" in Section 71-3-85 of the state code. It does not change the commission's structure, membership requirements, or operational duties - it only corrects the name reference in the law. The bill affects the commission's official designation but has no impact on how workers' compensation claims are processed or administered. The bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and was never enacted.

TECHNICAL
Corrected inconsistent formatting and removed duplicate header information from the bill text.
Fixed a text error in Section 1(1) that incorrectly stated 'workmen's Workers' Compensation Commission' instead of 'Workers' Compensation Commission.'
Corrected similar text errors in Section 1(3) and 1(5) regarding 'workmen's Workers' Compensation Law' to read 'Workers' Compensation Law.'
