36.

Each employee (or in the case of death his family or
dependents) entitled to receive compensation under this article
shall receive the same in accordance with the following schedule
and except as in this article otherwise provided, such payment
shall be in lieu of any and all rights of action whatsoever
against any person whomsoever.

(4a) A person who, from one accident, receives an award of
compensation for a period of two hundred and fifty (250) weeks or
more under [subsections] SUBSECTION (3) or (4) OF THIS SECTION or
a combination of both, is thereby considered to have a serious
disability; except any award for disfigurement or mutilation
under subsection (3)(f) of this section shall not be considered a
determination of serious disability. The weeks for such award
shall be increased by one third (computed to the nearest whole
number); and the compensation shall be for sixty-six and
two-thirds per centum of the average weekly wages, in no case to
exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of the State average
weekly wage of the State of Maryland as determined by the
Department of Employment Security. The Department of Employment
Security shall report the average weekly wage of the State of
Maryland as of July 1, to the Workmen's Compensation Commission
no later than December 15th each year. In no case shall the
employee receive less than a minimum of fifty dollars per week
unless the employee's established weekly wages are less than
fifty dollars per week at the time of injury, in which event he
shall receive compensation equal to his full wages. This
subsection, to the extent of any inconsistency, prevails over
subsections (3) and (4) OF THIS SECTION; but otherwise
subsections (3) and (4) OF THIS SECTION apply to persons covered
by this subsection. Provided, however, that any additional
compensation for permanent partial disability on a petition to
reopen shall not increase the amount of compensation previously
awarded and actually paid.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects stylistic errors in Article
101, § 36(4a).
