Supreme Court upholds Okla. workers comp law

Late Monday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected a constitutional challenge to the state's new workers' compensation law.

The court ruled just one week after justices heard oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the law.

The legislation was signed into law by Republican Gov. Mary Fallin in May.

The ruling says all sections of the new law are inter-related and refer to the single subject of workers' compensation or the way employees may ensure protection against work-related injuries.

The court rejected claims that the law contains multiple subjects in violation of the Constitution's single-subject rule that legislation address just one subject.
