HB 839 -- Workers' Compensation

Sponsor:  Secrest

This bill changes construction of the workers' compensation laws
from "liberal" to "impartial," deletes the provision declaring
substantial compliance with the laws will be sufficient, and
declares it to be the specific intent of the legislature that
the common law rule of liberal construction based on the
supposed remedial basis of workers' compensation laws does not
apply.
