Ch. 651                             MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                1357

36.

(1) (c) The compensation for the foregoing specific injury shall be paid in
addition to, and consecutively with, the compensation hereinafter provided in
subsection (2) of this section. If any employee dies from any cause or causes not
compensable under this article, the right to any compensation payable under this
subsection, unpaid at the date of his death, shall survive to his surviving
dependents as the Commission may determine, if there be such surviving
dependents, and if there be none such, then to his wife and children under
[twenty-one] EIGHTEEN years of age if there was, at the time of his death, a
legal obligation on the part of said employee to support his wife, and if there was
no such obligation, then to his children under [twenty-one] EIGHTEEN, if any,
alone.

36.

(4) (c) If any employee dies from any cause or causes not compensable under
this article, the right to any compensation payable under this subsection and
subsections (3) and (5), unpaid at the date of his death, shall survive to his
surviving dependents as the Commission may determine, if there be such surviving
dependents, and if there be none such, then to his wife and children under
[twenty-one] EIGHTEEN years of age if there was, at the time of his death, a
legal obligation on the part of said employee to support his wife, and if there was
no such obligation, then to his children under [twenty-one] EIGHTEEN if any,
alone.

47.

Every [minor] [[EMPLOYEE]] employee UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF
AGE engaged in extra-hazardous employment or work covered by this article shall
be deemed sui juris for the purposes of this article; and no other person shall have
any cause of action or right to compensation for any injury to such minor
employee unless otherwise herein provided. All compensation and death benefits
provided by this article, however, may be doubled in the discretion of the
Commission in the case of any minor employed illegally under the laws of this
State, and no insurance policy shall be available to protect the employer of such
minor from the payment of the extra or additional compensation or benefits to be
awarded by reason of such illegal employment, but the employer alone shall be
liable for the said increased amount of compensation or death benefits; provided,
however, that the certificate of the Commissioner of Labor and Industry shall be
conclusive evidence of the legality of any employment for the purposes of this
article.

SECTION 51. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the provisions of
this Act shall be construed only prospectively and shall not be applied or
interpreted to have any effect upon or application to any event or happening
occurring prior to the effective date of this Act, or to any gift made under the
Uniform Gift to Minors' Act prior to that date, or to any court decree, trust, will,
deed or other instrument in effect prior to the effective date of this Act.

SECTION 52. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect July 1, 1973.

Approved May 24, 1973.
