The state auditor general will be sent a resolution approved by the Illinois House ordering an audit of Illinois’ workers’ compensation program.
The Bellville News-Democrat reports that the Illinois House voted 111-0 on Mar. 10 for an audit of the program “as it applies to state employees.” The newspaper has reported possible workers’ compensation abuses by state prison system workers.
Senate approval of the resolution isn’t needed.
Republican state Rep. Dwight Kay of Glen Carbon initiated the resolution. The News-Democrat has reported $10 million in compensation to about 390 employees at Menard Correctional Center in Chester. Of those, about 230 guards claimed repetitive trauma from locking and unlocking cell doors.
