Modifies the liability of employers

Summary

The bill rewrites Missouri workers' compensation law so that employers must pay benefits for employee injuries or death regardless of negligence, while limiting other lawsuits. It raises benefits when employers ignore safety standards and cuts or forfeits benefits when employees ignore safety rules, use drugs or alcohol, or are injured during certain recreational activities. The changes aim to clarify liability and incentivize workplace safety.
