Which entity must the Administrative Director consult with to prescribe reasonable rules and regulations relating to benefit notices and related payments?

• A. The Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation
• B. The Department of Industrial Relations
• C. The Governor
• D. The Legislature

Answer: (A)

The Administrative Director must consult with the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation when prescribing rules about benefit notices and related payments. This commission is the body charged with advising on workers’ compensation matters, including health, safety, and benefit procedures, so its input ensures that notices and payment rules are practical and aligned with established practices. The Department of Industrial Relations is the umbrella agency, not the specific consultative body for these rulemaking details. The Governor and Legislature enact laws and policies but are not the regular consultative partner for this rulemaking. Hence, CHSWC is the correct entity.
