Senate Bill 1010 Summary

• Establishes burial expense compensation at a maximum of $6,000 for funeral, burial, or cremation, plus actual transportation costs to the employee's place of residence within the United States or Canada.

• Updates code references in sections 20-245, 72-438, and 72-451 to ensure proper cross-referencing throughout Idaho's worker's compensation law.
