An Act amending the act of June 2, 1915 (P.L.736, No.338), known as the Workers' Compensation Act, in procedure, further providing for compromise and release.

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act to protect injured employees from unfair settlement terms. It directly affects employers and workers by prohibiting companies from requiring injured claimants to agree to specific conditions as part of a settlement. The law explicitly bans employers from making workers sign agreements that stop them from seeking new jobs, force them to keep settlement details secret, require them to accept Medicare payments for their injury, or demand their resignation. Any settlement agreement that includes these prohibited conditions will be considered legally invalid, and employers who violate these rules face penalties under the existing act.
