WORKERS COMPENSATION: Provides relative to the determination of the average weekly wage (RE1 DECREASE SG EX See Note)
HB 529 amends the language used to describe how an employee's average weekly wage is calculated under workers' compensation laws. The bill changes a specific reference from "Paragraph (a)" to "Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph" within the relevant legal text. This adjustment affects the precise wording of the statute but does not alter the actual method for determining wage benefits or the people who receive them. The change is a technical correction to the bill's structure rather than a new policy initiative.
