HB 605 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

WORKERS COMPENSATION: Provides relative to experience modifiers and subrogation in workers' compensation cases

This proposed Louisiana bill (HB 605) changes how workers' compensation insurance costs are calculated for employers. It prevents insurers from including third-party accident costs in an employer's experience modifier until reimbursement from the third party is finalized. Any resulting premium increase would be paid in two equal installments over two years. The bill is currently under review by the Labor Committee and has not yet been enacted.
