In accordance with Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation, the Industrial Commission is striving to prevent the accumulation of costly, ineffective, and outdated regulations and reduce regulatory burden to achieve a more efficient operation of government. This year, the Commission will reexamine IDAPA 17.11.01- Administrative Rules of the Peace Officer and Detention Officer Disability Fund . The rule changes are intended to perform a comprehensive review of this chapter by collaborating with the public to streamline or simplify this rule language.
NEW 17.01.01- Administrative Rules Under the Worker’s Compensation Law
Temporary Rule
HB 590 repealed IC 72-404 and replaced it with a new version of the statute which removes Commission responsibility to approve settlements in most cases. Accordingly, the Commission no longer has an interest in requiring claimants to specify how unpaid medical bills will be treated at the time of settlement. Removing this section of IDAPA is consistent with the new provisions of I.C. 72-404.
Please visit the Office of the Administrative Rules Coordinator for more information.
