HB 2217 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Workers' Compensation; benefits; fees; effective date.

HB 2217 amends Oklahoma's workers' compensation law to clarify benefit rules for injured workers. It extends temporary total disability benefits to 156 weeks (with possible 52-week medical extensions requiring clear evidence), sets a $350 weekly cap for permanent partial disability (rising to $360 after July 2021), and limits total payments to 360 weeks for the body as a whole. The bill requires medical documentation for permanent disability claims, prohibits benefits for untreated body parts, and allows employers to terminate benefits after 60 days of medical non-compliance or three missed appointments. These changes directly affect injured workers, employers, and the Workers' Compensation Commission in Oklahoma.
