Minnesota Agencies

The powers and duties and functions vested in or imposed upon the industrial commission immediately prior to the effective date of this act, by Minnesota Statutes 1965, Chapter 176, and other applicable laws relating to workmen's compensation and by Minnesota Statutes 1965, Sections 251.041 to 251.053 and any act amendatory thereof; are transferred to, vested in, and imposed upon the workmen's compensation commission.

Chapter 1 of Special Session 1967 established a division of workmen's compensation and a department of labor and industry. The department of labor and industry and the industrial commission as heretofore constituted were abolished as part of this reorganization effort. In 1976 the Legislature changed the name of the workmen's compensation commission to the workmen's compensation court of appeals, and the workmen's compensation commissioners became judges of the workmen's compensation court of appeals.
