This bill authorizes the Workers' Compensation Commission to order an offset or
credit against an award for permanent partial disability benefits, for temporary total
disability benefits previously paid, or vocational rehabilitation benefits previously
provided, to a covered employee.
Senate Bill 116, 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
House Bill 183.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
