 Introduced by M. of A. DINOWITZ -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Labor

 AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to submission
 requirements for reports of independent medical examinations

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 137 of the work-
 2 ers' compensation law, as added by chapter 473 of the laws of 2000, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 (a) A copy of each report of independent medical examination shall be
 5 submitted by the practitioner on the same day and in the same manner,
 6 that includes but is not limited to electronic filing, to the board, the
 7 insurance carrier, the claimant's attending physician or other attending
 8 practitioner, the claimant's representative and the claimant. Provided,
 9 however, that submitting an electronic filing to a system operated by
 10 the board in a manner prescribed by the chair shall satisfy such
 11 requirement. The practitioner shall also mail a copy of the independent
 12 medical examination report to the claimant on the same day as the report
 13 is electronically filed with the board unless such claimant opts out of
 14 such requirement by providing notice to the board in writing.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
