What it does
This bill relates to injuries under the workers’ compensation program. Under current law, a proceeding on a claim for workers’ compensation benefits must generally be commenced within two years from the date of the occurrence of the injury for which benefits are claimed in order to be valid. The bill provides that if the two-year period is exceeded because the employee was unable to obtain an accurate diagnosis of the injury within the period from a health service provider chosen by the employer, the period shall be extended until such time as the employee can obtain such a diagnosis.
