Changes to Workers' Compensation Fund Usage
This law changes how funds from the subsequent injury and vocational recovery fund can be used within Tennessee's workers' compensation system. Previously, these funds were allocated for specific purposes related to worker injuries and rehabilitation. Now, the chief administrative officer of the Bureau of Workers' Compensation is authorized to use some of these funds for implementing and maintaining a computer system for the bureau. This change affects the management of the fund and potentially impacts how resources are allocated within the workers' compensation program.
