This presentation will cover the accomplishments made by the Bureau over the past twelve months in implementing legislation and programmatic rules. Since the 2018 Education Conference, new rules regarding the Adjuster Certification Program, Vocational Recovery Assistance Program and the Uninsured Employers Fund Benefit Program have been implemented. Revisions to the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims and Alternative Dispute Resolution rules are pending legislative review and approval. The new Adjuster Certification Program has been delivered six more times with additional offerings scheduled. This session will discuss these developments and lay the groundwork for the three-day conference by introducing the issues and outlining the topics to be discussed in the days that follow.
