SPONSOR: Taylor (48)
For the purposes of computing the average weekly wage that serves as the basis for determining the compensation rate for a volunteer firefighter or a volunteer emergency services responder, the benefit will be based on the average weekly wage in the volunteer's regular employment, only to the extent that the injury prevents the volunteer from performing the job duties of regular employment. The bill also specifies a method for calculating compensation when the average weekly wage has not been fixed or cannot be ascertained.
This bill is the same as HB 2641 (2024) and similar to HB 1910 (2024) and HB 1290 (2023).
