        AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to submission

        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 137 of the  work-
     2  ers'  compensation  law, as added by chapter 473 of the laws of 2000, is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    (a) A copy of each report of independent medical examination shall  be
     5  submitted  by  the  practitioner on the same day and in the same manner,
     6  that includes but is not limited to electronic filing, to the board, the
     7  insurance carrier, the claimant's attending physician or other attending
     8  practitioner, the claimant's representative and the claimant.  Provided,
     9  however,  that  submitting  an electronic filing to a system operated by
    10  the board in a  manner  prescribed  by  the  chair  shall  satisfy  such
    11  requirement.  The practitioner shall also mail a copy of the independent
    12  medical examination report to the claimant on the same day as the report
    13  is electronically filed with the board unless such claimant opts out  of
    14  such requirement by providing notice to the board in writing.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
