Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Workers' Compensation Act.  In provisions  authorizing      
   the  Industrial Commission to impose a penalty against an employer for      
   failure to pay the proper amounts in the Second  Injury  Fund  or  the      
   Rate Adjustment Fund, eliminates a requirement that the failure to pay      
   be  willful  and  knowing.  Provides that interest shall be paid by an      
   employer who has failed to pay the proper amounts in the Second Injury      
   Fund or the Rate Adjustment Fund.   Provides for  the  disposition  of      
   penalties and interest.                                                     
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Industrial Commission)                         
          HB817 would provide an estimated additional $10,500 in inerest.      
          and somewhat lower in following years due to one time costs.
