West Virginia workers' comp reform seen as start
The West Virginia Legislature approved a workers' compensation bill in a special session that avoids major reforms but funds the program and trims premium increases. A $250 million black lung funds transfer will help solvency and reduce anticipated employer rate hikes from 40–45 percent to about 15 percent. The measure includes optional trial work, a medical panel, and other provisions. Business and labor groups see it as a beginning and urge continued reform and balanced legislative scrutiny.
