Article 26A - Criminal Injuries Compensation Act

12.

(b) Any award made pursuant to this article shall be made in accordance with
the schedule of benefits and degree of disability as specified in Article 101, § 36 (as it
existed on July 1, [1974] 1984 JANUARY 1. 1989), § 37, and other applicable sections
of the Code, excluding § 66 entitled "Subsequent Injury Fund". However, the term

not have "average weekly wages" so as to qualify under the formula in § 36 of Article
101, the award shall be in an amount equal to the arithmetic average between the
maximum and minimum awards listed in the applicable portion of that section.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect July 1, 1990.

Approved May 2, 1990.
