- DISCUSSION OF KEY CHANGES IN THE 2007 NEW YORK STATE WORKERS' COMPENSATION REFORM BILL - On March 13, 2007, Governor Spitzer signed into Law the 2007 NYS Workers' Compensation Reform Bill which was passed by both the NYS Assembly and Senate. This Law took effective immediately, unless specified otherwise.
The Reform Bill referenced above has a significant impact on the employers doing business in New York State, the Workers' Compensation Insurance carriers and the claimants.
For educational purpose, we will attempt to interpret some of the key changes and provisions of the new Law. It should be noted that the actual application and/or meaning of the Reform Bill is still not clear at this time. We expect that the NYS Workers' Compensation Board and ultimately the Court of Appeals will have the final say in this matter. more
