Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry has vetoed a bill calling for additional penalties for those who commit workers’ compensation fraud.
House Bill 2894 would have required employees convicted of workers’ comp fraud to pay the employer for any resulting increase in workers’ compensation premiums.
In his veto message, Henry said the bill was vaguely written and that determining the monetary penalty would be “virtually impossible.”
The governor vetoed the bill on April 13.
