September 5, 2024 (BOCA RATON, FL)—Workplace-related mental injuries, marijuana reimbursements, independent contractors and the gig economy, and single-payer health insurance were among the top workers compensation focuses of state legislatures in 2024 according to a new report from the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI).
NCCI’s
2024 Regulatory and Legislative Trends provides an overview of developments affecting the workers compensation system in two parts: the
