Overview and purpose
- The bill’s title indicates it seeks to revise existing workers’ compensation laws specifically concerning two areas: (1) the “old fund” and (2) administrative costs administered by the State Fund.
- At present, the text of the bill has not been provided in the record available here, so the exact provisions, amendments, and statutory changes are not known. The summary below reflects only the intent suggested by the title and the bill’s documented status.
What the bill would address (as indicated by the title)
- Old Fund: The bill would modify how the old fund within the workers’ compensation system is governed, funded, or administered. The “old fund” typically refers to a legacy pool of resources/claims separate from newer funding streams, often intended to cover pre-existing liabilities or long-tail costs.
- Administrative costs: The bill would revise how administrative costs associated with the State Fund are calculated, allocated, or charged. This could involve changes to premium assessments, cost allocations, or oversight of overhead and operational expenses for administering workers’ compensation programs.
Who would be affected
- State Fund: Would be impacted in terms of how it manages the old fund and tracks or recoups administrative costs.
- Employers/Policyholders: Premiums or assessments could be affected if administrative cost allocations or old fund funding changes influence overall costs passed through to policyholders.
- Injured workers and claimants: Indirectly affected through any changes in funding stability, claim handling practices, or changes in benefits resulting from fund reallocation or administrative efficiency.
Significant procedural or timeline aspects
- The bill progressed through typical drafting steps but did not advance to enactment before dying in process.
- The record shows a back-and-forth in early 2025 between drafting and legal review, followed by the formal designation that the draft died in process.
