Addressing workers' compensation by aligning workers' compensation disability awards with federal retirement standards, increasing permanent partial disability awards, and decreasing workers' compensation rates.
Summary
- Recognizes the importance of compensating an injured worker permanently and totally disabled from an industrial injury or occupational disease.
