In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 586 - Workers' Compensation - Temporary Total Disability
Benefits - Jurisdiction of the Commission.
This bill provides that the Workers' Compensation Commission shall retain
jurisdiction of a determination pending an appeal to consider a request for temporary
total disability benefits provided that the employee's benefits were granted in the
order on appeal and were terminated by the insurer or self-insurer pending
adjudication or resolution of the appeal.
House Bill 612, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
11, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 586.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
Senate Bill No. 586
AN ACT concerning
Workers' Compensation - Temporary Total Disability Benefits - Jurisdiction
of the Commission
FOR the purpose of expanding the circumstances under which the Workers'
Compensation Commission retains jurisdiction pending an appeal to include a
request for temporary total disability benefits; and authorizing the Commission,
under certain circumstances, to pass a certain supplemental order that an
employer provide temporary total benefits pending an appeal; providing that
this Act may not be construed to prevent the Commission from ordering a certain
offset or credit; providing that the insurer or self-insurer is entitled to a certain
offset or credit under certain circumstances; and generally relating to the
jurisdiction of the Commission.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Labor and Employment
