Workers' Compensation Act
(Raoul, D-Chicago; Bradley, D-Marion) provides that there is no right to recover damages for injury or death, other than the compensation provided under the Act, from a service organization that is wholly owned by the employer or the employer’s insurer or broker and that provides safety service, advice, or recommendations. Current law immunizes from common law liability if the service organization is retained by the employer or the employer’s insurer or broker to provide safety service, advice, or recommendations. Passed both chambers.
