Removes requirement for claimants to demonstrate "ongoing attachment to the labor market" to receive permanent partial disability compensation under workers' compensation law.

Maintains 66⅔% compensation rate based on difference between pre-injury average weekly wages and post-injury wage-earning capacity, with no necessity to prove labor market attachment.

Establishes maximum benefit week caps ranging from 225 weeks (for ≤15% wage-earning capacity loss) to 525 weeks (for >95% wage-earning capacity loss).

Removes labor market attachment requirement for temporary partial disability compensation, allowing payment based solely on wage-earning capacity decrease.
