Modifies provisions relating to workers' compensation

Summary

The bill changes how Missouri defines “employee,” “accident,” and “injury” for workers’ compensation, expanding who is covered but tightening when benefits apply. It excludes owners of leased vehicles and people serving religious or charitable groups, and requires that work be a substantial factor in causing an injury, not just a trigger. It also bars compensation for commuting accidents and caps death benefits to 300 weeks after an accident.
