HB3072 modifies workers' compensation provisions in Missouri by adjusting the weekly compensation rates based on the date of injury. It also changes the compensation for permanent total disability, specifying that it should be paid for the lifetime of the employee. The bill introduces new provisions for occupational diseases due to toxic exposure, including additional benefits for mesothelioma. It allows employers to pool their liabilities and provides for the payment of additional benefits to the employee's spouse or children if the employee dies before receiving the full benefits.
