Oklahoma State Senate President Pro Tempore Cal Hobson announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee will not hear House Bill 2619, which addresses the state’s workers’ compensation system. Hobson said the bill would further disadvantage workers injured on the job and cost employers and taxpayers millions of dollars more each year. Hobson said the Legislature may be able to address workers’ comp reform before the second session of the 49th Oklahoma Legislature ends in May, but not with this bill. Oklahoma Senate Republican leaders said by killing the bill, Hobson destroyed the chance for meaningful reforms to Oklahoma’s expensive, pro-lawyer workers’ compensation system.
