The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to rescind the award of costs against the lien claimant, Tri-City Health Group.

The Board found the lien barred because the last date of service was May 1, 2014, and the lien was filed over two years later, on November 22, 2016. The WCAB also noted it lacks the authority to declare statutes unconstitutional, rejecting Tri-City's vagueness challenge.
