McKinney Reappointed to Ark. WCC

Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee announced the reappointment of Karen McKinney of Little Rock to the state Workers’ Compensation Commission. She will serve until Dec. 5, 2010.

She will continue to serve as the commission’s management representative on the three-member full commission. Another commissioner represents labor’s interests, and the third serves as the chair person.

Before McKinney was appointed to the commission in September 2003, she was an administrative law judge for the commission. From April 1996 until her appointment as an administrative law judge in June 1999, McKinney was a law clerk for the commission.

The commission administers and enforces the state’s workers’ compensation laws, adjudicating all work-related injury claims by employees against their employers or insurance carriers.
