Removes labor market attachment requirements for cases of permanent partial disability.

This bill amends the workers' compensation law to remove labor market attachment requirements for cases of permanent partial disability. It specifies that compensation for temporary partial disability is payable without the necessity for the injured employee to demonstrate labor market attachment. The compensation is calculated as two-thirds of the difference between the injured employee's average weekly wages before the accident and their wage-earning capacity after the accident. The act takes effect immediately.
