RELATING TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION.

Summary

The bill lets an injured employee’s attending physician request a functional capacity examination once the worker is medically stabilized, without first getting the employer’s permission. Qualified health‑care providers—such as occupational and physical therapists—may conduct the exam, and the employer must cover the cost. The change is intended to speed up return‑to‑work decisions and reduce delays in the workers’ compensation system.
