MEMORANDUM
To:                   Charlene Dindo, Committee Assistant - LCAR;
Louise Corliss, APA Clerk - Vermont Secretary of State's Office
From:               J. Stephen Monahan - Director Workers' Compensation & Safety Division
Date:               Friday, November 9, 2018
Subject:             Notification that we are withdrawing proposed rule 18-P23 - Department of Labor/Vermont Workers' Compensation Vocational Rehabilitation Rules
After the aborted LCAR hearing on October 18, the Department of Labor met with opponents of the proposed rule to discuss their concerns. Unfortunately, we were unable to come to agreement on the rules, although there was some agreement that statutory changes may be necessary.
The Department has decided to withdraw the proposed rule and leave the existing rule in place. Therefore, it will not be necessary for LCAR to consider the rule at its November 15th meeting.
Thank you for your time.
