A Senate committee is holding hearings on plans to keep a tighter rein on Colorado's workers' compensation program.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is hearing legislation Wednesday that would change the makeup of the board of directors, cap the company's surplus and limit surveillance.

Lawmakers say the company needs tighter regulation to ensure workers get the treatment they need and the treatment companies paid for.
