Modifies provisions relating to workers' compensation

HB 3072 modifies workers' compensation benefits for injured workers by updating weekly payment formulas based on injury dates. It sets specific percentage rates (66.67% of average weekly earnings) with caps ranging from 70% to 105% of the state's average weekly wage, depending on when the injury occurred. The bill also establishes a $40 weekly minimum, clarifies that death benefits for permanent total disability do not pass to dependents, and creates special provisions for toxic exposure cases - requiring employers to pay up to 200 weeks of benefits for non-mesothelioma diseases and 312 weeks for mesothelioma (with employer election options until 2038). These changes directly affect workers injured on the job and their dependents in cases of permanent disability or death.
