Change provisions of the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act

LB 1056 updates Nebraska's Workers' Compensation Act to improve support for non-English speaking workers and streamline benefit calculations. It requires employers to cover interpreter services for medical and compensation-related needs, with interpreters selected from an official state register. The bill also changes physician selection rules to prioritize providers familiar with the employee's medical history, adds annual cost-of-living adjustments to income benefits, and clarifies payment rules for benefits to a personal representative if an employee dies. These changes directly affect injured workers, employers, and healthcare providers under Nebraska's workers' compensation system.
