It is said that the new WC reform bill, HB1698, has been sent to Governor Quinn for approval, but no word has come yet as to whether he has or will approve the bill. Under current law, if the governor does not veto the bill within ninety (90) days from when it hits his desk, it will become law. We expect to hear from the Governor on the bill within the near future.
Once we know whether the bill has bee approved, we will provide an update as to the exact changes, although, the basic changes and premise is set forth in bill HB1698, which can be viewed at:
