Workers’ Compensation Commission Chair Steven Morelli told the subcommittee on Feb. 14 that the commission’s requested budget mirrors the governor’s proposed funding and that the agency does not currently plan to seek additional funding beyond the executive budget.

Morelli said the commission is a special‑fund agency whose fund is administered by the state treasurer. The commission reported roughly 96 positions currently filled and about 10 vacancies; business office manager Frank Calvi told the committee the agency’s personal‑services lapse for the prior year was roughly $20,419.66 and said the agency was comfortable with a personnel‑services adjustment included in the governor’s proposal.

Morelli said the commission expects no immediate supplemental funding needs; he told the committee three administrative law judges had been nominated by the governor and hearings before the Judiciary Committee were scheduled for later consideration.

Ending: The commission said it will provide the committee a breakdown of vacancies and requested job‑class lists for the working group as requested by lawmakers.
