National Commission On State Workers Compensation Laws
Group appointed by President Nixon in 1971 to study workers compensation laws under the authorization of the occupational safety and health act (OSHA). It issued sweeping recommendations to upgrade state workers compensation laws, including higher disability benefits, compulsory coverage, and unlimited medical care and rehabilitation benefits. Most states adopted the recommendations with a resulting increase in premiums for the new benefits.
