The 2015 session of the Vermont General Assembly concluded on Saturday May 16 with no news to report with regard to the workers' compensation statute. For the first time in a number of years, no legislation was enacted which materially affects the handling of workers' compensation claims in the State of Vermont.
When the legislature returns to the statehouse in January, 2016 it is expected that a number of bills may be discussed. For instance it is anticipated that the House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development will revisit the issues of independent contractors and statutory employers.
