Overall, Bill 118 hr 1937 represents a significant effort to control spending within the Department of Labor and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly. It will be important to closely monitor the progress of this legislation as it moves through the legislative process to see how it may impact the Office of Worker's Compensation Program and the workers it serves.
