Modifies provisions related to workers' compensation administrative law judges

Summary

The measure repeals several existing workers' compensation sections and replaces them with new provisions that adjust benefit calculations, especially for permanent total disability and occupational diseases like mesothelioma. It also caps the number of administrative law judges at forty, sets qualifications, retention‑vote schedules, performance‑audit procedures, disciplinary powers, training requirements, and compensation for those judges. The bill failed to pass and is not moving forward.
