Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner last night signed a bill providing a comprehensive reform of the state's workers' compensation system.

The measure, including the first major changes to the system in more than a decade, sailed through the House of Representatives 39-0 after gaining Senate passage the same day on an 18-0 vote.

Among the elements put into place are a medical fee schedule for injury treatment and tighter regulation of attorney fees.
