Workers' Compensation Task Force

The Workers’ Compensation Task Force was created by HJR3, established by the General Assembly and Governor to address the 26% increase in average workers compensation rates over the last two years.

Lieutenant Governor Denn, who worked with the General Assembly in 2006 and 2007 to enact workers compensation reforms that cut rates by over 40%, expressed confidence that the task force would be able to make recommendations that would stem the recent increase in rates. “We know this problem can be addressed because we did it six years ago,” Denn said. “The reforms we enacted worked. We need to find out what changed during the last two years and fix it.”
