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”.

Injured workers in Washington state would have the option of receiving lump-sum settlements under a bill delivered to Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday.
The Senate passed S.B. 5046 49-0 on Feb. 10, and the state House of Representatives voted 98-0 to pass the bill on April 5.
Reforms enacted 10 years ago included a provision that for the first time allowed injured workers to settle their claims and receive structured payments. S.B. 5046 would give injured workers the option to receive settlement payments in a lump sum or on a structured basis.
The measure includes an emergency clause and would take effect immediately if signed into law.
