WORKER’S COMPENSATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding medical examinations of an injured employee.

H 115 amends Idaho's worker's compensation law (Section 72-433) to update medical examination rules for injured workers. It requires employers to reimburse travel expenses for medical exams at the state employee mileage rate, excluding the first 15 miles of any round trip (or trips under 15 miles total). The bill also clarifies that injured workers can have their own physician present during exams, may record exams via audio (with video requiring consent), and must be reimbursed for travel to approved rehabilitation facilities. These changes apply to Idaho workers injured on the job and take effect July 1, 2025.
