AN ACT relating to the American Medical Association "Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment."
Amend sections of KRS Chapter 342 to adopt the fifth edition, rather than the most recent edition, of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.
SB 199 - AMENDMENTS
SCS - Replace provisions of the bill with provisions delaying the adoption of the latest edition of the AMA guidelines until the summer of 2009, to require the commissioner of the Department of Labor to study the advisability of adopting the new guidelines and make a report to the LRC by January of 2009, and to allow an earlier adoption by executive order of the commissioner if the commissioner finds that an earlier adoption would best serve the welfare of Kentucky's workers, EMERGENCY.
SCA (1/Title, R. Stivers II) - Make title amendment.
SFA (1, J. Rhoads) - Amend to make the executive director of the Office of Workers' Claims, rather than the commissioner of the Department of Labor, responsible for studying feasibility of adopting the AMA Guides.
