Overview: Bill Number: LC 3092, Title: Interim study of the Montana State Fund safety program, Status: (LC) Draft Died in Process, Introduced: December 13, 2024
Purpose and Intent: This bill would direct the Legislative Council to conduct an interim study on the safety program of the Montana State Fund, the state's largest workers' compensation insurance provider. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the safety program in reducing workplace injuries and illnesses, as well as identify potential areas for improvement.
Key Provisions:
- Requires the Legislative Council to conduct a comprehensive review of the Montana State Fund's safety program
- Examines the program's impact on workplace safety, including injury and illness rates, cost savings, and overall effectiveness
- Identifies best practices and makes recommendations for enhancing the safety program's performance
Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary stakeholders affected by this bill are the Montana State Fund, employers, and workers covered by the state's workers' compensation system. The study's findings and recommendations could lead to changes that impact workplace safety, insurance costs, and the overall workers' compensation landscape in Montana.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: This bill was introduced in the Montana Legislature but died in the legislative process. If it had been enacted, the interim study would have been conducted during the legislative interim period, with a report and recommendations presented to the next regular legislative session.
