ASIA GOVERNMENT
AFFAIRS |
|
|
The effect of government on a self-insured employer’s workers’
compensation program is the primary concern of ASIA. It is ASIA’s
mission to represent and speak for the interests of our members
while closely watching the making of laws and rules in Arizona.
ASIA employs a year-round lobbyist prepared to address issues
which arise at a moment’s notice that may negatively impact
members. ASIA’s Government Affairs Committee is comprised of representatives of some of
the largest employers in Arizona.
Recently, ASIA was successful in barring an expansion of benefits
for occupational blood-borne pathogen exposures. We were also
there when claim settlements were in jeopardy to see that the
flexibility was maintained for employer and injured worker
negotiations. This year, removing the cap on benefits is the
subject of a bill currently in the legislature and ASIA is hard at
work to make sure that any change in benefit levels is well
thought-out and serves the interests of all parties. |
