Management-Labor Advisory Committee
MLAC is the "gatekeeper" to changes in workers' compensation law. With very few exceptions, if they don't sign on to legislation, it fails. The governor appoints MLAC members. These ten representatives (five labor, five business) advise the WCD director, the Oregon Legislature, and governor on all matters relating to workers' compensation. In addition, the Director of the Department of Consumer & Business Services is an ex-officio member.
