WORKER’S COMPENSATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding service of notice of hearings.

This bill amends Idaho's worker's compensation law to update how hearing notices are delivered. It requires that parties represented by attorneys receive notices via email, while unrepresented parties must receive notices by certified mail - though they can switch to email by submitting a written request with a valid address. The changes clarify service requirements for the Idaho Workers' Compensation Commission and take effect July 1, 2025. As a procedural update, it directly affects workers, employers, and attorneys involved in worker's compensation hearings.
