Arizona HB2325 amends workers' compensation administration by authorizing the commission to appoint agents for investigations.

Arizona HB2325 amends section 23-928 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow the commission to appoint agents for investigations related to employment and workplaces. These agents, who must be residents of Arizona, will have inquisitorial powers and the authority to take testimony, similar to a referee or master appointed by the superior court. The agents' recommendations are advisory and do not prevent further evidence collection or investigation.
