There are also two other bills
relating to the Special Indemnity
Fund, which is often referred to as
the second injury tim& Because of
reforms which ha,,e been approved
over the past several years, the
Special Indemnity Fund is essen-
tially bankrupt.
The Special Indemnity Fund was
established for workers who are in-
jured a second time on the job, and
is funded by a 6 percent tax on
payments for permanent total
disability or permanent partial
disability awards. Those awards
have been significantly reduced as
a result of the reforms which ahve
been implement over the pest few
years, and the fund is not being
replenished as quickly as needed to
fund the claims of injured workera
Both bills would increase the
degree of impairment necessary to
proceed against the fun& Current-
ly, an injured workers must have a
permanent partial disability of
more than 17 percent between the
two injuries.
In addition, one of the bills would
impose an additional 4 percent tax
on insurance companies! and
employers' payments for perma-
nent total disability and permanent
partial disability awards. The addi-
tional tax would be in place for 10
years, and would expire after June
30, 1991.
Work continues on these mea-
sures and others which will provide
significant relief to Oklahoma's
businessmen and women.
I look forward to any questions or
comments regarding any issue we
may discuss at the State Capitol. My
