  1. Any person who is eligible for compensation under this part must give notice thereof in accordance with Part 2 of Article 4 of this chapter in order to have such claim brought before the General Assembly for action.
  2. Any such claimant shall also, prior to introduction of a resolution for compensation, submit all documents called for by the board, including reports from all physicians and surgeons who have treated or examined the victim and from hospitals that have admitted the victim in relation to the injury for which compensation is claimed at the time of or subsequent to the victim's injury or death. If, in the opinion of the board, reports on the previous medical history of the victim, examination of the injured victim and a report thereon, or a report on the cause of death of the victim by an impartial medical expert would be of material aid in making its recommendation, the board shall call for the claimant to produce such reports and submit to such examination.
