Relating To Workers' Compensation.
Last status update Jan 16, 2025
What this measure contains
Establishes notice requirements for employers under Hawaii's Workers' Compensation Law. Requires employers who deny the compensability of an employee's injury to submit a written report supporting the denial to the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations within a specified period. Requires employers to furnish to the injured employee up to $10,000 for medical care, services, and supplies for the period immediately following the injury and so long as reasonably needed or until the employer files a written report with the Director denying the compensability of the injury, whichever is earlier. Clarifies that failure to give an employer notice of an employee's injury does not bar a claim for compensation if any person having authority in the interest of the employer had knowledge of the injury.

Floor actions reported in the history
The imported roll calls do not cover every legislative decision. The source history can report a full House or Senate reading even when a complete member-by-member roll call is missing. These entries preserve that report; they do not fill in unrecorded individual votes.
No third- or final-reading outcome is reported in this imported history. This does not establish that no floor action occurred.
