Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 2145 clarify that compensation can be requested to be paid by electronic fund transfer not just to an employee, but also to anyone entitled to compensation under the relevant section. Additionally, the term "employee" has been replaced with "person entitled to compensation," broadening the scope of who can receive payments electronically. This update is important because it helps ensure that all eligible individuals—beyond just employees—can benefit from more convenient payment methods, making the process smoother and more efficient for everyone involved.
