Purpose

Section 2. Effective Date

Justification

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately provided, however, that the amendments made to section 140 of the workers' compensation law made by section one of this act shall not affect the terms of current members serving on the workers' compensation board and shall only apply to new board members filling vacancies after this act shall have become a law, and provided further, that the provisions of this act shall not prohibit current members from being reappointed.
