Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee Appointed to Investigate and Report Regarding Legislation to Regulate the Liability of Employers, 1909 Upon its appointment this committee proceeded to the consideration and investigation of the questions affecting the relation of employers and employees, and reported to the general assembly on May 20, 1907(the time for its report having been, extended to that date) and submitted in its report a rather general review of the whole subject of the liability of employers to employes for accidents, reporting no bill, however, but recommending to the General Assembly that the matter be continued for further investigation and consideration. This report of the committee was accepted by the General Assembly of 1907, and thereupon the following resolution was passed: "Section 1: That the committee appointed under the provisions of a resolution approved February 27, 1907, to investigate and report regarding legislation to regulate the liability of employers for accidents to employes, be and hereby is continued in office until the next session of the General Assembly, said committee to continue its investigations as authorized by said resolution and with all the authority therein granted to said committee; and said committee is hereby directed to report, during the first two weeks of the next session of the General Assembly, a draft of a bill regulating the liability of employers as aforesaid, together with such recommendations as it may deem wise. "Sec. 2. The comptroller is hereby directed, upon the request of said committee, to furnish and pay a competent stenographer for the use of said committee, and upon the approval of the chairman of said committee, to pay such necessary incidental expenses as said committee may reasonably incur. "Sec. 3. Said committee is hereby authorized and empowered to cause to be printed at the expense of the state, not more than one thousand copies of the report made by said committee to the General Assembly of 1907.' In accordance with this resolution the same committee which considered the subject and reported to the General Assesmbly of 1907, has, since the adjournment of that Assesmbly, been investigating the question, and herewith begs leave to submit to the General Assembly of 1909 its final report. In order to present to the General Assembly the views of the committee relative to the liability of employers to employes, it becomes necessary to give a short historical review of the law as it now is in Connecticut, to examine briefly the legislation on the subject adopted by foreign countries and other states of the United States, and to mention various suggestions made to the committee, considered by different persons to be desirable changes in our laws; and, finally, to express the conclusions of the committee in regard to the whole matter.
