Perfected

HB 1540 - This act states that co-employees shall be released from all liability for workplace injuries or death for which compensation is recoverable under the workers' compensation statutes. However, the employee shall not escape liability when the employee engages in an affirmative negligent act that purposefully and dangerously caused or increased the risk of injury.

This act is similar to SS#2/SCS/SB 8 (2011), SS/SCS/SB 572 (2012), SB 827 (2012), SB 878 (2012), and HB 1403 (2012).
