BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Workers Comp Coverage More + Less -

ATLANTA—State senators in Georgia filed legislation Monday that would ban illegal immigrants from receiving workers compensation benefits.

Sen. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, along with several other senators, sponsored S.B. 7.

The bill says it would amend Georgia law “relating to general provisions relative to workers compensation, so as to provide that benefits…shall not be paid to noncitizens who are not employed legally; to provide that such payments shall not be made unless the noncitizen is present in this country legally at the time such payments are made.”
