Worker's compensation: benefits; eligibility to receive benefits and amount of benefits paid to an injured worker; modify. Amends secs. 301, 311, 313, 351, 354, 355, 356, 358, 361, 371, 401 & 891 of 1969 PA 317 (MCL 418.301 et seq.) & repeals secs. 302, 357 & 431 of 1969 PA 317 (MCL 418.302 et seq.).

This bill aims to change the rules around worker's compensation in Michigan, specifically focusing on who can receive benefits and how much they can get if they are injured on the job. It modifies several existing sections of the law and removes some outdated provisions to better reflect current needs.

Supporters of the bill argue that it modernizes worker's compensation laws to ensure that injured workers receive fair and adequate benefits. They believe these changes will provide better support for those who face challenges due to workplace injuries, ultimately promoting a healthier workforce.

Critics of the bill may contend that the changes could limit access to benefits for injured workers, making it harder for them to receive the support they need. They may argue that repealing certain sections of the existing law could create gaps in coverage and undermine the protections that workers currently have.
