SB673,61,517 102.48 (2) In all other cases the death benefit shall be such sum as the
18department or the division determines to represent fairly and justly the aid to
19support which the dependent might reasonably have anticipated from the deceased
20employee but for the injury. To establish anticipation of support and dependency, it
21shall not be essential that the deceased employee made any contribution to support.
22The aggregate benefits in that case shall not exceed twice the average annual
23earnings of the deceased or 4 times the contributions of the deceased to the support
24of his or her dependents during the year immediately preceding the deceased
25employee's death, whichever amount is the greater. In no event shall the aggregate

1benefits in that case exceed the amount that would accrue to a person who is solely
2and wholly dependent. When there is more than one partial dependent the weekly
3benefit shall be apportioned according to their relative dependency. The term
4“support" as used in ss. 102.42 to 102.63 shall include contributions to the capital
5fund of the dependents for their necessary comfort.
SB673,144 6Section 144. 102.48 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,61,107 102.48 (3) Except as otherwise provided, a death benefit, other than burial

13wholly dependent and also a child by a former marriage, domestic partnership under
14ch. 770, or adoption, likewise wholly dependent, aggregate benefits shall be the same
15in amount as if the child were the child of the surviving spouse or partner, and the
16entire benefit shall be apportioned to the dependents in the amounts that the
17department or the division determines to be just, considering the ages of the
18dependents and other factors bearing on dependency. The benefit awarded to the
19surviving spouse or partner shall not exceed 4 times the average annual earnings of
20the deceased employee.
SB673,146 21Section 146 . 102.49 (5) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,62,322 102.49 (5) (b) In addition to the payment required under par. (a), in each case

25amount of the death benefit otherwise payable, minus any payment made under s.

SB673,62,105 102.49 (5) (c) In addition to the payment required under par. (a), in each case
6of injury resulting in death, leaving one or more persons partially dependent for
7support, the employer or insurer shall, except as provided in s. 102.58 (2), pay into
8the state treasury an amount which, when added to the sums paid or to be paid on
9account of partial dependency and under s. 102.48 (1), shall equal the death benefit
10payable to a person wholly dependent.
SB673,148 11Section 148 . 102.49 (5) (cm) of the statutes is created to read:
SB673,62,1712 102.49 (5) (cm) The employer or insurer may make advance payments of
13amounts owed under par. (b) or (c), up to and including a lump sum payment of the
14entire amount owed. If an employer or insurer makes an advance payment, the
15department shall give the employer or the insurer an interest credit against its
16liability for payments made in excess of that required under par. (b) or (c). The credit

SB673,63,84 102.51 (3) Division among dependents. If there is more than one person wholly

SB673,63,2210 102.51 (4) Dependency as of the date of death. Questions as to who is a
11dependent and the extent of his or her dependency shall be determined as of the date
12of the death of the employee, and the dependent's right to any death benefit becomes
13fixed at that time, regardless of any subsequent change in conditions. The death
14benefit shall be directly recoverable by and payable to the dependents entitled to the
15death benefit or their legal guardians or trustees. In case of the death of a dependent
16whose right to a death benefit has become fixed, so much of the benefit as is unpaid
17is payable to the dependent's personal representatives in gross, unless the
18department or the division determines that the unpaid benefit shall be reassigned
19under sub. (6) and paid to any other dependent who is physically or mentally
20incapacitated or a minor. For purposes of this subsection, a child of the employee who
21is born after the death of the employee is considered to be a dependent as of the date
22of death.

2death benefit as between a surviving spouse or a domestic partner under ch. 770 and
3any children specified in sub. (1) and s. 102.49 in accordance with their respective
4needs for the death benefit.
SB673,154 5Section 154. 102.55 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,64,136 102.55 (3) For all other injuries to the members of the body or its faculties that
7are specified in the schedule under s. 102.52 resulting in permanent disability,
8though the member is not actually severed or the faculty is not totally lost,
9compensation shall bear such relation to the compensation named in the schedule
10as the disability bears to the disability named in the schedule. Indemnity in those
11cases shall be determined by allowing weekly indemnity during the healing period
12resulting from the injury and the percentage of permanent disability resulting after
13the healing period as found by the department or the division.
SB673,155 14Section 155. 102.555 (12) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,64,1915 102.555 (12) (a) An employer, or the department, or the division is not liable
16for the expense of any examination or test for hearing loss, any evaluation of such
17an exam or test, any medical treatment for improving or restoring hearing, or any
18hearing aid to relieve the effect of hearing loss unless it is determined that
19compensation for occupational deafness is payable under sub. (3), (4), or (11).
SB673,156 20Section 156. 102.56 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,65,821 102.56 (1) Subject to sub. (2), if an employee is so permanently disfigured as
22to occasion potential wage loss due to the disfigurement, the department or the
23division
may allow such sum as the department or the division considers just as
24compensation for the disfigurement, not exceeding the employee's average annual
25earnings. In determining the potential for wage loss due to the disfigurement and

1the sum awarded, the department or the division shall take into account the age,
2education, training, and previous experience and earnings of the employee, the
3employee's present occupation and earnings, and likelihood of future suitable
4occupational change. Consideration for disfigurement allowance is confined to those
5areas of the body that are exposed in the normal course of employment. The
6department or the division shall also take into account the appearance of the
7disfigurement, its location, and the likelihood of its exposure in occupations for which
8the employee is suited.
SB673,157 9Section 157. 102.56 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,65,1410 102.56 (2) If an employee who claims compensation under sub. (1) returns to
11work for the employer who employed the employee at the time of the injury, or is
12offered employment with that employer, at the same or a higher wage, the
13department or the division may not allow that compensation unless the employee
14suffers an actual wage loss due to the disfigurement.
SB673,158 15Section 158. 102.565 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,66,916 102.565 (1) When, as a result of exposure in the course of employment over a
17period of time to toxic or hazardous substances or conditions, an employee
18performing work that is subject to this chapter develops any clinically observable
19abnormality or condition that, on competent medical opinion, predisposes or renders
20the employee in any manner differentially susceptible to disability to such an extent
21that it is inadvisable for the employee to continue employment involving that
22exposure, is discharged from or ceases to continue the employment, and suffers wage
23loss by reason of that discharge from, or cessation of, employment, the department
24or the division may allow such sum as the department or the division considers just
25as compensation for that wage loss, not exceeding $13,000. If a nondisabling

1condition may also be caused by toxic or hazardous exposure not related to
2employment and if the employee has a history of that exposure, compensation as
3provided under this section or any other remedy for loss of earning capacity shall not
4be allowed. If the employee is discharged from employment prior to a finding by the
5department or the division that it is inadvisable for the employee to continue in that
6employment and if it is reasonably probable that continued exposure would result
7in disability, the liability of the employer who discharges the employee is primary,
8and the liability of the employer's insurer is secondary, under the same procedure
9and to the same effect as provided by s. 102.62.
SB673,159 10Section 159. 102.565 (2) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,66,2411 102.565 (2) Upon application of any employer or employee, the department or

14or conditions to submit to examination by one or more physicians appointed by the
15department or the division to determine whether the employee has developed any
16abnormality or condition under sub. (1), and the degree of that abnormality or
17condition. The cost of the medical examination shall be borne by the person making
18application. The physician conducting the examination shall submit the results of
19the examination to the department or the division, which shall submit copies of the
20reports to the employer and employee, who shall have an opportunity to rebut the
21reports if a request to submit a rebuttal is made to the department or the division
22within 10 days after the department or the division mails the report to the parties.
23The department or the division shall make its findings as to whether it is inadvisable
24for the employee to continue in his or her employment.
SB673,160 25Section 160. 102.565 (3) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,67,4

2commission, the department, the division, or an examiner, an employee refuses to
3submit to an examination or in any way obstructs the examination, the employee's
4right to compensation under this section shall be barred.
SB673,161 5Section 161 . 102.58 of the statutes is renumbered 102.58 (1) and amended to
6read:
SB673,67,147 102.58 (1) If injury is caused by the failure of the employee to use safety devices
8that are provided in accordance with any statute, rule, or order of the department
9of safety and professional services and that are adequately maintained, and the use
10of which is reasonably enforced by the employer, or if injury results from the
11employee's failure to obey any reasonable rule adopted and reasonably enforced by
12the employer for the safety of the employee and of which the employee has notice, the
13compensation and death benefit provided in this chapter shall be reduced by 15
14percent, but the total reduction may not exceed $15,000.
SB673,67,21 15(2) If an employee violates the employer's policy concerning employee drug or
16alcohol use and is injured, and if that violation is causal to the employee's injury, no
17compensation or death benefits shall be payable to the injured employee or a
18dependent of the injured employee and no payment under s. 102.49 (5) (b) or (c) shall
19be payable
. Nothing in this section subsection shall reduce or eliminate an
20employer's liability for incidental compensation under s. 102.42 (1) to (8) or drug
21treatment under s. 102.425.
SB673,162 22Section 162. 102.61 (1g) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:

24rehabilitation services under 29 USC 701 to 797a, an employee shall provide the
25employer with a written report from a physician, chiropractor, psychologist, or

1podiatrist stating the employee's permanent work restrictions. Within 60 days after
2receiving that report, the employer shall provide to the employee in writing an offer
3of suitable employment, a statement that the employer has no suitable employment
4for the employee, or a report from a physician, chiropractor, psychologist, or
5podiatrist showing that the permanent work restrictions provided by the employee's
6practitioner are in dispute and documentation showing that the difference in work
7restrictions would materially affect either the employer's ability to provide suitable
8employment or a vocational rehabilitation counselor's ability to recommend a
9rehabilitative training program. If the employer and employee cannot resolve the
10dispute within 30 days after the employee receives the employer's report and
11documentation, the employer or employee may request a hearing before the division
12department to determine the employee's work restrictions. Within 30 days after the
13division department determines the employee's work restrictions, the employer shall
14provide to the employee in writing an offer of suitable employment or a statement
15that the employer has no suitable employment for the employee.
SB673,163 16Section 163. 102.61 (1m) (c) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB673,69,217 102.61 (1m) (c) The employer or insurance carrier shall pay the reasonable cost
18of any services provided for an employee by a private rehabilitation counselor under
19par. (a) and, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in sub. (1r) (a) to (c)
20and by rule, if the private rehabilitation counselor determines that rehabilitative
21training is necessary, the reasonable cost of the rehabilitative training program
22recommended by that counselor, including the cost of tuition, fees, books,
23maintenance, and travel at the same rate as is provided for state officers and
24employees under s. 20.916 (8). Notwithstanding that the department or the division
25may authorize under s. 102.43 (5) (b) a rehabilitative training program that lasts

1longer than 80 weeks, a rehabilitative training program that lasts 80 weeks or less
2is presumed to be reasonable.

7determine other issues under this chapter. A determination under this subsection
8may include a determination based on the evidence regarding the cost or scope of the

10or reasonableness of a rehabilitative training program developed under sub. (1m) (a).

SB673,70,2 12102.62 Primary and secondary liability; unchangeable. In case of
13liability under s. 102.57 or 102.60, the liability of the employer shall be primary and
14the liability of the insurance carrier shall be secondary. If proceedings are had before
15the division department for the recovery of that liability, the division department
16shall set forth in its award the amount and order of liability as provided in this
17section. Execution shall not be issued against the insurance carrier to satisfy any
18judgment covering that liability until execution has first been issued against the
19employer and has been returned unsatisfied as to any part of that liability. Any
20provision in any insurance policy undertaking to guarantee primary liability or to
21avoid secondary liability for a liability under s. 102.57 or 102.60 is void. If the
22employer has been adjudged bankrupt or has made an assignment for the benefit of
23creditors, if the employer, other than an individual, has gone out of business or has
24been dissolved, or if the employer is a corporation and its charter has been forfeited
25or revoked, the insurer shall be liable for the payment of that liability without

2liability of the employer.

7department of justice, after giving notice to the department of administration, may
8compromise the amount of those payments but such compromises shall be subject to
9review by the department or the division. If the spouse or domestic partner under
10ch. 770 of the deceased employee compromises his or her claim for a primary death
11benefit, the claim of the children of the employee under s. 102.49 shall be
12compromised on the same proportional basis, subject to approval by the department
13or the division. If the persons entitled to compensation on the basis of total
14dependency under s. 102.51 (1) compromise their claim, payments under s. 102.49
15(5) (a) shall be compromised on the same proportional basis.

20of justice shall represent the interests of the state in proceedings under s. 102.44 (1),
21102.49, 102.59, 102.60, or 102.66. The department of justice may compromise claims
22in those proceedings, but the compromises are subject to review by the department
23or the division. Costs incurred by the department of justice in prosecuting or
24defending any claim for payment into or out of the work injury supplemental benefit
25fund under s. 102.65, including expert witness and witness fees but not including

1attorney fees or attorney travel expenses for services performed under this
2subsection, shall be paid from the work injury supplemental benefit fund.

SB673,71,114 102.65 (3) The department of workforce development may retain the
5department of administration to process, investigate, and pay claims under ss.
6102.44 (1), 102.49, 102.59, and 102.66. If retained by the department of workforce
7development, the department of administration may compromise a claim processed
8by that department, but a compromise made by that department is subject to review
9by the department of workforce development or the division. The department of
10workforce development shall pay for the services retained under this subsection from
11the appropriation account under s. 20.445 (1) (t).

18department or the division may, in lieu of worker's compensation benefits, direct
19payment from the work injury supplemental benefit fund under s. 102.65 of such
20compensation and such medical expenses as would otherwise be due, based on the
21date of injury, to or on behalf of the injured employee. The benefits shall be
22supplemental, to the extent of compensation liability, to any disability or medical
23benefits payable from any group insurance policy whose premium is paid in whole
24or in part by any employer, or under any federal insurance or benefit program

1providing disability or medical benefits. Death benefits payable under any such
