SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill and changes the period for which a former advocate or advocate attorney with the Workers' Compensation Board must refrain from representing before the board any insurer, self-insurer or 3rd-party administrator from 2 years to one year. The amendment also eliminates this restriction for any person who has worked for 4 or more years as an advocate or attorney advocate.
