BILL NUMBER:A10343 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to time frames for certain hearings; and to repeal subdivision 2-b of section 25 of the workers' compensation law, relating to concil- iation PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL: To guarantee an employer or injured worker a hearing within twenty days of a request for a hearing after a claim has initially be contested. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. Amends paragraph (b) subdivi- sion 3 of section 25 of the workers' compensation law, as amended by chapter 61 of the laws of 1986 regarding the time in which a workers compensation hearing is held. Section 2. Subdivision 2-b of section 25 of the workers' compensation law is repealed. Section 3. Effective date. JUSTIFICATION: The fundamental requisite of procedural due process is the opportunity to be heard before a neutral arbiter provided at a mean- ingful time and in a meaningful manner. There are few instances where the urgency to obtain relief is as profound as in a Workers' Compen- sation Case.
