IL HB2793

Establishes that accidental injuries sustained while traveling to or from work do not arise out of and in the course of employment, with limited exceptions.

Creates an exception allowing work-related travel injuries to be compensable if the employee was performing employer-instructed acts, acts with a common law or statutory duty, or acts reasonably expected incident to assigned duties.

Excludes from coverage injuries sustained during commutes between domicile and primary workplace, personal deviations or errands, or injuries resulting from personal risks.

Requires consideration of three factors when determining if travel was required: whether travel method was determined by job demands, whether employer reimbursed travel expenses or time, and whether employer directed the route.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
