What changed in the latest version

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Senate Bill 5701 has retained the focus on compensation but has removed a section that required a specific report from the Department of Labor and Industries by December 1, 2024. This change means lawmakers will not have a mandated deadline to assess the impact of the bill on claims during a set timeframe. It may simplify the bill’s implementation but could also reduce oversight on how the changes affect workers and claims.
