Welty v. USD 259
Court of Appeals of Kansas
Decided July 27, 2012No. 106,383PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Hill, J.:
USD 259 asks us to overturn the Workers Compensation Board and hold that K.S.A. 2006 Supp. 44-523(f) bars Debra K. Welty from recovery because the regular hearing on her claim was held almost 6 years after her application for benefits was filed. Because nothing in the language of K.S.A. 2006 Supp. 44-523(f) indicates the legislature intended for the amendment to prior law operate retroactively, we hold the Board properly affirmed Welty’s compensation award.
