The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America supports HB 3284, legislation to repeal South Carolina’s Second Injury Fund, which it says, due to excessive costs, has hindered economic development.
The fund’s goal was to encourage employers to hire or retain workers with pre-existing disabilities or injuries, while providing economic relief to those employers if a subsequent injury occured to the worker.
Since 1992, with the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, prohibiting the discrimination in employment that the second injury funds were intended to address, 16 states and the District of Columbia have abolished their funds.
