The chairman of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission announced commissioner panel assignments that become effective Jan. 1, 2011.
Chairman Mitch Weisz realigned two panels: Panel A will consist of Commissioners Donohoo, Lamborn and Mason; Panel B will consist of Commissioners Dauphin and Lindsay, with a vacancy until the replacement for Commissioner Sherman is appointed.
Commissioner Barbara Sherman resigned effective Oct. 25, 2010, after 20 years of service with the commission.
Panel C remains the same with Commissioners Basurto, DeMunno and Gore.
Panel B will not schedule oral arguments for the month of January 2011 because of the current vacancy and the relative number of backlogged cases assigned to each commissioner.
There will be no change in current assignments and procedures regarding Motions on Review before each commissioner.
The commission announced one additional change: Due to a scheduling conflict, Commissioner Basurto will cover Commissioner Lamborn’s Rockford review call on Jan. 11.
