AZ SB1264

Allows wages from modified job positions created through reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act to be included in determining temporary partial or permanent partial earning capacity, even if the modified job is not available in the open competitive labor market.

Requires anyone advocating a legislative proposal to submit a report to the joint legislative audit committee if the proposal would mandate that insurers or employers deem a disease or condition compensable or would substantially modify existing compensability presumptions.

Report must include scientific evidence of causal relationships between diseases and employment, financial information on potential cost impacts, and explanation of why existing compensability methods are inadequate.

Assigned legislative committee of reference must hold at least one public hearing on the report and deliver recommendations to relevant legislative leaders and the commission by December 1.

Failure to submit a required report does not result in civil sanctions or criminal penalties.
