On Aug. 20, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission approved revised regulations from the Department of Labor and Industry, which significantly impact the practice and procedure before the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board and the workers’ compensation judges with respect to the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act.
The final regulations amend, clarify or add language to two separate chapters within the regulations. They revise Chapter 111, Special Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure before the WCAB and Chapter 131, Special Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure before the WCJs. Although the revisions to Chapter 131 are far more extensive, the Chapter 111 revisions are equally significant.
