Mississippi HB80 revises workers' compensation laws to increase the allowed compensation for disability or death cases.

Mississippi HB80 amends the state's workers' compensation laws to increase the maximum compensation for disability or death cases from sixty-six and two-thirds percent to one hundred percent of the average weekly wage for the state per week. The bill also adjusts related sections to conform to this change, ensuring consistency across the workers' compensation statutes. The compensation is subject to maximum weekly benefit limitations and cannot exceed four hundred fifty weeks or the multiple of four hundred fifty weeks times one hundred percent of the average weekly wage for the state.
