Illinois Work Comp Covid 19 rule Withdrawn

The recent Work Comp emergency rule promulgated to protect front line workers in Illinois who contract Covid 19 was the subject of recent lawsuit.

Business groups attacked the Governor’s authority to file the emergency rule.

The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission withdrew the rule.

The Commission announced it is working with business groups and attorneys representing injured workers to come up with a compromise solution to protect workers who end up with Covid 19.

Stay tuned for further development.
