Supreme Court of the United States
Collins v. American Buslines, Inc.
April 9, 1956350 U.S. 528
Summary
The Supreme Court held that the Arizona Workmen’s Compensation Act cannot be applied to an employee of an interstate carrier who is covered by workers’ compensation in another state because such application would impose an undue burden on interstate commerce, and therefore reversed the Arizona Supreme Court’s judgment and remanded the case.
Holding
- Does the Commerce Clause preclude Arizona from applying its Workmen’s Compensation Act to an employee of an interstate carrier who is covered by workers’ compensation in another state?. The Arizona Workmen’s Compensation Act does not apply; the claim is barred because applying it would impose an undue burden on interstate commerce.
