Governor Kathleen Sebelius vetoed a bill Tuesday. She said the bill would lower compensation settlements for workers injured on the job.
The bill aims to protect employers from paying benefits when a worker's job-related injury aggravates a pre-existing condition. It would allow a doctor to determine whether a disability caused by an on-the-job injury might be due, in part, to a health condition, which could be used to reduce the compensation settlement.
Kansas' workers' compensation is among of the lowest in the nation, and the rates will decline 2 percent this year without the bill.
The Senate approved the bill 28-12, while the House approved by 67 approvals, shorts of 10 approvals to override the veto.
