| Twenty
years ago, a group of workers and employers came together to fix a crumbling workers' compensation
system. Known as the "Mahonia Hall reforms," the changes developed by the group were
adopted by the Legislature in a special session on May 7, 1990. Since then, Oregon's workers'
compensation system has become one of the most successful in the nation, with low costs for
employers, improved workplace safety, and innovative programs to help injured workers get back
on the job. This webpage provides information about the 20th anniversary celebration, interviews
about the success of the reforms, and resources for workers and employers. |
