Issues
Workers' Comp. reform
Reichner complimented the work done by the Labor-Management Advisory Council to reform workers’ compensation in Montana. However, he added the House Republican caucus wanted “to take a bigger bite of the apple.”
“We are not discouraging any bills at this moment,” he said. “We appreciate what they (LMAC) have done.”
Reichner said Montana had the highest workers’ compensation rates in the country and deeper cuts need to be made to lure new businesses and help current employers. He said the caucus would take what was good in the LMAC bill and blend it into a new proposal.[2]
