SB402 amends Hawaii's workers' compensation law to establish notice requirements for employers, clarify procedures for denying claims, and limit.

SB402 introduces several changes to Hawaii's workers' compensation law. It mandates that employers provide written notice to employees and the director within specific timeframes when denying claims or delaying benefits. Employers must also furnish up to $10,000 in medical care, services, and supplies immediately after an injury until a report is filed with the director. The bill clarifies that failure to notify an employer of an injury does not bar a claim if someone with authority had knowledge of the injury.
