HB 2120 Summary

• Amends the definition of reportable injuries to include only those "requiring medical treatment," excluding minor onetime treatments by nonmedical staff such as treating scratches, cuts, burns, and splinters.

• Updates civil penalty amounts under occupational safety and health standards to align with federal penalties adopted under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, replacing fixed dollar amounts with references to federal penalty schedules.

• Requires the workers' compensation commission to post proposed fee schedules for medical services and prescription drugs on its website for at least 30 days, hold a public meeting for interactive participation, and post final proposed schedules at least 7 business days before adoption (except during public health emergencies).

• Adds new provisions allowing insurance carriers to apply experience rating adjustments to medical-only losses in a way that reduces the impact on an employer's experience modification calculation.
