Bill overview
This bill proposes to adjust the calculation of average annual earnings used to determine workers’ compensation benefits for permanent partial disabilities. Specifically, it would change the range for calculating average weekly earnings from $240 to $435 (for injuries on or after January 1, 2014) to between $363 and $658 (for injuries on or after January 1, 2027). This change aims to better reflect current wage levels and provide more appropriate benefit amounts for injured workers.
