| 4/8/2008 | Attorney Edward Stewart appeared before the House Labor Committee and provided extensive testimony on an amendment to Senate Bill 501 relating to workers’ compensation permanent impairment awards. Presently, RSA 281-A:32 requires that impairment ratings be calculated in accordance with the most recent edition of Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment published by the American Medical Association. The Sixth Edition of the Guides, effective on January 1, 2008, has resulted in impairment percentages substantially lower than those assessed under the Fifth Edition. Subsequent to Attorney Stewart’s presentation on the amendment which replaces “the most recent edition” with “Fifth Edition”, the committee passed it by a 17-1 vote. The bill goes on to a vote before the full New Hampshire House of Representatives. When this measure is enacted, injured workers will benefit by having their permanent impairments calculated under the Fifth Edition, rather than the more conservative Sixth Edition. |
