Revise laws for receipt of workers' compensation benefits on behalf of others

Bill LC 2769, titled "Revise laws for receipt of workers' compensation benefits on behalf of others," aimed to update procedures allowing representatives (such as family members or legal guardians) to receive workers' compensation benefits for injured workers. The bill sought to clarify who could legally act on behalf of an injured worker and streamline the process for benefit distribution. However, the bill did not advance beyond the drafting stage and was officially "dead" as of May 27, 2025. Without further details on its specific provisions, the exact policy changes remain unspecified. This bill would have directly affected injured workers and their designated representatives in the workers' compensation system.
