Fiscal Note (Dept. of Central Management Services)

It is not possible to calculate an exact fiscal impact of this proposed legislation due to the casespecific nature of any claims that may arise pursuant to this legislation. However, based on the average cost of a workers' compensation claim and the percentage of claims that are denied for untimely filing, the Department of Central Management Services estimates the proposed legislation would result in a cost increase of approximately $250,000 annually.
