State compensation bill aims to aid injured workers
The Star outlines House Bill 14 by Governor Teats and Senate Bill 7 by Senator Falconer, proposing compulsory state funded compensation for injured workers without court action. It would add one percent to insurance costs but save litigation, with excess funds returned after a year. The bill stems from a governorappointed commission of employers and employees and includes five dollars weekly for up to three weeks plus medical services for minor injuries.
