Worker's compensation: other; certain filing fees and redemption fees; require to be established by rule. Amends secs. 625 & 835 of 1969 PA 317 (MCL 418.625 & 418.835).

SB 566 requires the state director to establish by rule the filing fees insurers pay for submitting notices (like policy changes) and the redemption fees for lump-sum settlement agreements in worker's compensation cases. The bill mandates that these fee amounts, currently set at $100 for redemption agreements, be determined through administrative rules rather than fixed by statute. Fees collected will fund agency costs for education, case management, and hearings. This change shifts authority to set fee amounts from the legislature to the administrative agency, allowing for flexible adjustments without new legislation.
