Prayer by Representative Robert C. Hector:
Dear Lord, our Heavenly Father, we ask Thy special
blessing on those gathered here today. Give us the strength
to do Thy work and the courage to vote our convictions.
We are all brothers under the skin. We all know that there
is but one law, and that is the Golden Rule: "Do unto
others as you would have them do unto you." All other
laws merely supplement this law in an effort to make us
live together more harmoniously.
Would my fellow Members in the House and friends in
the gallery join me in repeating the Lord's Prayer:
Our Father, Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory
Forever and ever. Amen.

Explanation of Vote on Motion for the Previous Question
When the previous question was moved on SB 7-D we had the
following amendment on the table:
"This act shall take effect only upon approval by the electorate
in the general election of 1978 of Article IV, Section 10, the
appointed Public Service Commission as passed by the Consti-
tution Revision Commission of 1978."
We believe this amendment was needed since if the people
reject the appointive Public Service Commission concept in No-
vember they should not have to have an appointed one. The Leg-
islature should not take away the people's right to vote for
their elected officials particularly when the question is already
on the ballot.

laid on the table.

Explanations of Votes on SB 7-D

I strongly support elections by the people of all public officials.
Elections make officials responsive and accountable. However,
the Florida Public Service Commission has not been responsive.
The setting of utility rates has been detrimental to public in-
terest. Therefore, a change in the selection of members to the
Commission may prove helpful until the people make the choice
on the Constitution Revision ballot in November. Hence, I voted
for SB 7-D to determine if any of the problems of utility rates

are resolved. This is an issue that affects every person in the
State of Florida.
Representative Gwendolyn Cherry
We strongly support election of public officials who exercise
their trust relationship with regard to policy decisions. How-
ever, the Public Service Commission is a quasi-judicial body and
it exists for the sole purposes of rate-making, license granting
and enforcement of the Florida Legislature's policy decisions.
We unequivocally oppose the proposed Constitutional Amend-
ment which would, if passed, provide in our Constitution that
Public Service Commissioners be appointed and only by addi-
tional and subsequent Constitutional Amendment can they be
elected by the people again.
Therefore, providing by general law the opportunity to try
an appointed commission is in the best interests of the people
of Florida.
Representative Barry Kutun
Representative A. M. (Tony) Fontana

A number of my constituents have called to indicate their
concern about losing the right to elect members of the Florida
Public Service Commission. I, too, treasure the elective process
and am pledged to preserve it wherever possible. I would there-
fore like to note for the record that my request for information
on this issue to Dade County's Consumer Advocate, Mr. Walter
Dartland, did produce the following: 38 state Public Service
Commissions are now appointed and those Commissions which
are generally thought to be most responsive to consumers and
most progressive are all appointed bodies.
Additionally, since my constituents have indicated general and
specific dissatisfaction with our Public Service Commission's
structure and activities over recent years each time they have
observed rate request proceedings, it was my conclusion that
my constituents positively do not want to preserve the Commis-
sion's status quo. However the Constitutional Revision Commis-
sion's recommendation to place an appointed P.S.C. into the
Constitution is, in my opinion, an inappropriate over-reaction,
and would not produce a truly changed Commission until 1982
and the expiration of terms begun in 1978.
SB 7 provides the people of Florida with the opportunity to
try an appointed Commission and see how it works for us. It
works well in very many other states and removes the campaign
support relationship of those who seek office as regulators to
those who are being regulated. Within the next four years we
will surely be able to ascertain the value of an appointed PSC
and have ample opportunity to re-address the issue if necessary.

Representatives Moffitt and O'Malley offered the following
amendment:
Amendment 1-Strike everything after the enacting clause
and insert: Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1), and
paragraph (d) of subsection (2) of section 440.02, Florida Stat-
utes, are amended to read:
440.02 Definitions.-When used in this chapter, unless the
context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
(1) "Employment."
(b) The term "employment" shall include:
1. Employment by the state and all political subdivisions
thereof and all public and quasi-public corporations therein,
including officers elected at the polls.
2. All private employment in which three eoe or more
employees are employed by the same employer.
(2) "Employee."
(d) The term "employee" shall not include:
1. An independent contractor, including an individual who
agrees in writing to perform services for a person or corpora-
tion without supervision or control as a real estate salesman
or agent, if such service by such individual for such person
or corporation is performed for remuneration solely by way
of commission; e*
2. A person whose employment is both casual and not in
the course of the trade, business, profession, or occupation of
the employer; or,

b. Volunteers participating in federal programs established
pursuant to Public Law 93-113.
Section 2. Subsection (1) of section 440.11, Florida Statutes,
is amended to read:
440.11 Exclusiveness of liability.-
(1) The liability of an employer prescribed in s. 440.10 shall
be exclusive and in place of all other liability of such employer
to any third party tortfeasor and to the employee, the legal
representative thereof, husband or wife, parents, dependents,
next of kin, and anyone otherwise entitled to recover damages
from such employer at law or in admiralty on account of such
injury or death, except that if an employer fails to secure pay-
ment of compensation as required by this chapter, an injured
employee, or the legal representative thereof in case death
results from the injury, may elect to claim compensation under
this chapter or to maintain an action at law or in admiralty
for damages on account of such injury or death. In such action
the defendant may not plead as a defense that the injury was
caused by negligence of a fellow servant, that the employee
assumed the risk of the employment, or that the injury was
due to the contributory negligence or comparative negligence
of the employee. The same immunities from liability enjoyed by
an employer shall extend as well to each employee of the
employer when such employee is acting in furtherance of the
employer's business and the injured employee is entitled to
receive benefits under this chapter. Such fellow-employee im-
munities shall not be applicable to an employee who acts, with
respect to a fellow employee, with willful and wanton disregard
or unprovoked physical aggression or with gross negligence
when such acts result in injury or death, or such acts proxi-
mately cause such injury or death, nor shall such immunities
be applicable to employees of the same employer when each is
operating in the furtherance of the employer's business but
they are assigned primarily to unrelated works within private
or public employment.
Section 3. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 440.12, Florida
Statutes, are amended to read:
440.12 Time for commencement and limits on weekly rate
of compensation.-
(1) No compensation shall be allowed for the first 7 days
of the disability, except benefits provided for in s. 440.13;
,provided, however, that if the injury results in disability of
more than 14 days compensation sh all be allowed from the
commencement of the disability. All weekly compensation pay-
ments, except for the first week, shall be paid by check.
S(2) Compensation for disability resulting from injuries
which occur after December 31, 1974, shall not be less than
$20 per week. However, if the employee's wages at the time of
injury are less than $20 per week, he shall receive his full
weekly wages. If his wages at the time of the injury exceed
$20 per week, compensation shall not exceed an amount per
week which is:
(a) Equal to sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the aver-
age weekly wage, determined as hereinafter provided for the
year in which the injury occurred and
(b) Adjusted to the nearest dollar multipe 4 $4.
For the purpose of this subsection the "average weekly wage"
means the average weekly wage paid by employers subject to
the Florida Unemployment Compensation Law as reported to
the department for the four calendar quarters ending each
June 30, which average weekly wage shall be determined by
the department on or before November 30 of each year and
shall be used in determining the maximum weekly compen-
sation rate with respect to injuries occurring in the calendar
year immediately following. The average weekly wage de-
termined by the department shall be reported annually to the
legislature.
Section 4. Subsections (1) and (3) of section 440.13, Flor-
ida Statutes, are amended to read:

440.13. Medical services and supplies; penalty for viola-
tions; limitations.-
(1) Subject to the limitations specified in paragraph (3) (b),
the employer shall furnish to the employee such remedial treat-
ment, care, and attendance under the direction and supervision
of a qualified physician or surgeon, or other recognized prac-

I

such excessive charges or required such treatment, hospitaliza-
tion, or visits, the hospital or medical practitioner shall not
receive payment under this chapter from a carrier, employer,
or employee for the excessive fees or unjustified treatment,
hospitalization, or visits and, furthermore, the hospital or medi-
cal practitioner shall be liable to return to the carrier or self-
insurer any such fees or charges already collected.
(d)4b. All rights for remedial attention under this section
shall be barred unless a claim therefore is filed with the divi-
sion within 2 years after the time of injury, except that if
payment of compensation has been made or remedial attention
has been furnished by the employer without an award on ac-
count of such injury a claim may be filed within 2 years after

titioner, nurse, or hospital, and for such period as the nature
of the injury or the process of recovery may require, includ-
ing medicines, crutches, artificial members, and other appa-
ratus. If the employer fails to provide the same after request
by the injured employee, such injured employee may do so at the
expense of the employer, the reasonableness and the necessity
to be approved by a judge of industrial claims. The employee
shall not be entitled to recover any amount personally expended
for such treatment or service unless such employee shall
have requested the employer to furnish the same and the em-
ployer shall have failed, refused, or neglected to do so, or unless
the nature of the injury required such treatment, nursing, and
services and the employer or the superintendent or foreman
thereof, having knowledge of such injury, shall have neglected
to provide the same; nor shall any claim for medical, surgical,
or other remedial treatment be valid and enforceable unless
within 10 days following the first treatment (except in cases
where first-aid only is rendered), and thereafter at such inter-
vals as the division by regulation may prescribe, the physician
or other recognized practitioner giving such treatment or treat-
ments furnishes to the division and to the employer, or to the
carrier if the employer is not self-insured, a report of such
injury and treatment on forms prescribed by the division, pro-
vided that a judge of industrial claims for good cause may
excuse the failure of the physician or other recognized prac-
titioner to furnish any report within the period prescribed and
may order the payment to such employee of such remuneration
for treatment or service rendered as the judge of industrial
claims finds equitable. Along with such reports, the physician
or other recognized practitioner shall furnish a sworn state-
ment that the treatment or services rendered were reasonable
and necessary with respect to the bodily injury sustained. Said
sworn statement shall read as follows: "Under penalty of per-
jury, I declare that I have read the foregoing, and the facts
alleged are true, to the best of my knowledge and belief and
that the treatment and services rendered were reasonable and
necessary with respect to the bodily injury sustained." All
medical reports obtained or received by the employer, the
carrier, or the injured employee, or the attorney for any of
them, with respect to the remedial treatment, care, and at-
tendance of the injured employee, including reports of every
examination, diagnosis, or disability evaluation, shall be filed
with the Bureau of Workmen's Compensation within 5 days
after receipt of same. A medical report not previously filed
with the bureau shall not be received in evidence in a con-
tested case unless the party offering same has furnished a
copy thereof to the opposing party or his attorney at least 5
days prior to the hearing at which it is offered. The physician
shall also furnish to the injured employee, or to his attorney,
on demand, a copy of each such report without charge to the
injured employee, except actual cost to the physician or hos-
pital furnishing same.
(3)(a) All fees and other charges for such treatment or
service, including treatment or service at any hospital or other
health care provider, shall be limited to such charges as prevail
in the same community for similar treatment of injured per-
sons of like standard of living, and shall be subject to regula-
tions by the division, which shall adopt schedules of charges
for such treatment or services.
(b) There is hereby created an advisory committee to aid
and assist the Department of Commerce in adopting schedules
of maximum charges for hospital treatment and services payable
through workmen's compensation benefits, to be appointed by
and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Commerce.
(c) The Division of Labor of the Department of Commerce
shall be empowered to investigate hospitals and medical prac-
titioners to determine if they are in compliance with the sched-
ule of charges adopted by the division or if they are requiring
unjustified treatment, hospitalization, or office visits. If the
division finds that the hospital or medical practitioner has made

after the date of the last remedial attention furnished by the
employer; and all rights for remedial attention under this sec-
tion pursuant to the terms of an award shall be barred unless
a further claim therefore is filed with the division within 2 years
after the entry of such award, except that if payment of com-
pensation has been made or remedial attention has been furn-
ished by the employer under the terms of the award a further
claim may be filed within 2 years after the date of the last
payment of compensation or within 2 years after the date of the
last remedial attention furnished by the employer.
Section 5. Paragraph (u) of subsection (3), paragraph (c)
of subsection (10), and subsection (11) of section 440.15, Flor-
ida Statutes, are amended to read:
440.15 Compensation for disability.--Compensation for dis-
ability shall be paid to the employee, subject to the limits pro-
vided in s. 440.12(2), as follows:
(3) PERMANENT PARTIAL DISABILITY.-In case of dis-
ability partial in character but permanent in quality, the com-
pensation shall, in addition to that provided by subsection (2),
be 60 percent of the average weekly wages, and shall be paid
to the employee as follows:
(u) Other cases: In all other cases in this class of disability
the compensation shall be:
1. 60 percent of the injured employee's average weekly
wage for such number of weeks as the injured employee's per-
centage of disability is of 175 894 weeks when the injured em-
ployee's percentage of disability is 10 percent or less;
2. 60 percent of the injured employee's average weekly wage
for such number of weeks as the injured employee's percentage
of disability is of 350 weeks when the injured employee's per-
centage of disability is. more than 10 percent but less than and
including 50 percent;
3. 60 percent of the injured employee's average weekly
wage for such number of weeks as the injured employee's
percentage of disability is of 525 weeks when the injured
employee's percentage of disability is more than 50 percent
but less than and including 99 percent.
proided. However, thet for the purpose of this paragraph
"disability" means either physical impairment or diminution of
wage-earning capacity, whichever is greater.
(10) EMPLOYEE ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS UNDER
THIS CHAPTER AND FEDERAL OLD-AGE, SURVIVORS,
AND DISABILITY INSURANCE ACT.-
(c) No disability compensation benefits payable for any
week, including those benefits provided by paragraph (1)(e),
shall be reduced pursuant to this subsection until the Social
Security Administration determines the amount otherwise pay-
able to the employee under 42 U.S.C. s. 423 and s. 402 and the
employee has begun receiving such social security benefit pay-
ments. The employee shall, upon demand by the division,
the employer, or the carrier, authorize the Social Security
Administration to release disability information relating to
him, and authorize the Division of Employment Security to
release unemployment compensation information relating to
him, in accordance with rules to be promulgated by the division
prescribing the procedure and manner for requesting the
authorization and for compliance by the employee. Neither the
division nor the employer or carrier shall make any payment of
benefits for total disability or those additional benefits pro-
vided by paragraph (1)(e) for any period during which the
employee willfully fails or refuses to authorize the release of
information in the manner and within the time prescribed by
said rules. The authority for release of disability information
granted by an employee under this paragraph shall be effective
for a period not to exceed 12 months, such authority to be
renewable as the division may prescribe by rule.

THIS CHAPTER WHO HAS RECEIVED UNEMPLOYMENT

(7) In addition to any other penalties provided by this

temporary total disability or permanent total disability, shall
be reduced by the amount of unemployment compensation re-
ceived.
Section 6. Subsections (2) and (9) of section 440.185, Flor-
ida Statutes, are amended to read:
440.185 Notice of injury or death; reports; penalties for
violations.-
(2) Within 7 44 days of actual knowledge of injury or
death, the employer shall report same to the carrier by letter
or on a form prescribed by the division, providing the follow-
ing information:
(a) The name, address, and business of the employer;
(b) The name, social security number, street, mailing ad-
dress, and occupation of the employee;
(c) The cause and nature of the injury or death;
(d) The year, month, day, and hour when, and the par-
ticular locality where, the injury or death occurred; and
(e) Such other information as the division may require.
(9) Any employer or carrier who fails or refuses to send
any form, report, or notice required by this section shall be
subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $100 for each such
failure or refusal. However, any employer who fails to notify
the carrier of the injury on the prescribed form or by letter
within the 7 4 days required in subsection (2) shall be liable
for the civil penalty, which shall be paid by the employer and
not the carrier. Failure by the employer to meet its obli-
gations under subsection (2) shall not relieve the carrier from
liability for the civil penalty if it fails to comply with subsec-
tions (4) and (5).
Section 7. Subsections (5), (7), and (10) of section 440.20,
Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
440.20 Payment of compensation.-
(5) If any installment of compensation payable without
an award is not paid within 14 days after it becomes due, as
provided in subsection (2), there shall be added to such
unpaid installment an amount equal to 20 44 percent thereof,
which shall be paid at the same time as, but in addition to,
such installment of compensation, unless notice is filed under
subsection (4), or unless such nonpayment results from con-
ditions over which the employer or carrier had no control.
When any installment of compensation payable without an
award has not been paid within 14 days after it became due
and the claimant concludes the prosecution of the claim before
a judge without having specifically claimed additional compen-
sation in the nature of a penalty under this section, he will be
deemed to have acknowledged that, owing to conditions over
which the employer or carrier had no control, such install-
ment could not be paid within the period prescribed for pay-
ment and to have waived his right to claim such penalty.
However, during the course of a hearing, the judge on his
own motion may raise the question of whether such penalty
should be awarded or excused. If no claim for such penalty is
presented and the judge does not raise the question on his
own motion during the hearing, no penalty will be awarded,
and it will be deemed that the judge has excused such delay
in payment of compensation pursuant to this section. The divi-
sion may assess without a hearing the above-mentioned 20 44
percent additional payment against either the employer or the
insurance carrier, depending upon who was at fault in causing
the delay. However, if any party requests a hearing within
20 days of the assessment, such hearing shall be conducted
before a judge of industrial claims in accordance with s.
440.25. The insurance policy cannot provide that this sum
will be paid by the carrier if the division or the judge of in-
dustrial claims determines that the 20 W percent additional
payment should be made by the employer rather than the
carrier. Any additional installment of compensation paid by
the carrier pursuant to this section shall be paid directly to
the employee.

whether such installment is payable without an order or under
the terms of an order.
(a) Within 30 days after final payment of compensation
has been made, the employer shall send to the division a
notice, in accordance with a form prescribed by the division
stating that such final payment has been made, the total
amount of compensation paid, the name of the employee and of
any other person to whom compensation has been paid, the
date of the injury or death, and the date to which compensation
has been paid.
(b) If the employer fails to so notify the division within
such time the division may assess against such employer a
civil penalty in an amount not over $100.
(10) Upon the application of any party in interest and
after giving due consideration to the interests of all interested
parties, if a judge of industrial claims finds that it is for
the best interests of the person entitled to compensation, said
judge of industrial claims may enter a compensation order
requiring that the liability of the employer for compensation
shall be discharged by the payment of a lump sum equal
to the present value of all future payments of compensation,
computed at 4 percent true discount compounded annually,
or requiring that the employer make advance payment of a
part of the compensation for which said employer is liable
by the payment of a lump sum equal to the present value
of such part of the compensation computed at 4 percent true
discount compounded annually. Upon joint petition of all
interested parties and after giving due consideration to the
interests of all interested parties, if a judge of industrial
claims finds that it is for the best interests of the person
entitled to compensation, such judge of industrial claims may
enter a compensation order approving and authorizing the
discharge of the liability of the employer for both compen-
sation and remedial treatment, care, and attendance by the
payment of a lump sum equal to the present value of all
future payments for both compensation and remedial treat-
ment, care, and attendance; and a compensation order so
entered upon joint petition of all interested parties shall
not be subject to modification or review under s. 440.28.
Provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to mean that a judge of industrial claims is required
to approve any award for lump sum payment when it is
determined by the judge of industrial claims that the pay-
ment being made is in excess of the value of benefits the
claimant would be entitled to under this chapter. The judge
shall make or cause to be made such investigations as he
considers necessary, in each case in which the parties have
stipulated that a proposed final settlement of all liability of
the employer shall not be subject to modification or review
under s. 440.28, to determine whether such final disposition
"will definitely aid the rehabilitation of the injured worker
or otherwise is clearly for the best interests of the person
entitled to compensation, and in his discretion may have an
investigation made by the Rehabilitation Section of the Bureau
of Workmen's Compensation. The joint petition and the report
of any investigation so made will be deemed a part of the
proceeding. A judge, in his discretion, may hear testimony
relating to a proposed stipulation for settlement under this
subsection without having in hand the bureau file; however, he
shall in no event enter an order thereon without first having
reviewed the bureau file. When the claimant is reprepresented by
counsel or when the claimant and carrier or employer are
represented by counsel, final approval of the lump sum
settlement agreement, as provided for in a joint petition and
spatipulation, shall be approved by entry of an order within 7
days of the filing of such joint petition and stipulation
without a hearing unless the judge determines, at his dis-
cretion, that additional testimony is needed before such settle-
ment can be approved or disapproved and so notifies the
parties. The probability of the death of the injured employee
or other person entitled to compensation before the expira-
tion of the period during which such person is entitled to
compensation shall, in the absence of special circumstances
making such course improper, be determined in accordance with
the most recent United States Life Tables published by the
National Office of Vital Statistics of the United States De-

apartment of Health, Education, and Welfare. The probability
of the happening of any other contingency affecting the amount
or duration of the compensation, except the possibility of the
remarriage of a surviving spouse, shall be disregarded. As a
condition of approving a lump sum payment to a surviving
spouse, the judge of industrial claims in the judge's dis-
cretion may require security which will insure that, in the
event of the remarriage of such surviving spouse, any un-

accrued future payments so paid may be recovered or recouped
by the employer or carrier. 'Such applications shall be considered
and determined in accordance with ss. 440.25 and 440.27 and
the workmen's compensation rules of procedure prescribed by
the commission and adopted by the Supreme Court.
Section 8. Subsection (3) of section 440.25, Florida Statutes,
is amended to read:
440.25 Procedure in respect to claims.-
(3) (a) The division or judge of industrial claims shall make
or cause to be made such investigations as it considers necessary
in respect to the claim and upon application of any interested
party the judge of industrial claims shall order a hearing there-
of; provided, however, no claim for diminution of wage-earning
capacity shall mature until 90 days after the employee has
reached maximum medical improvement. If a hearing on such
claim is ordered, the judge of industrial claims shall give the
claimant and other interested parties at least 15 days' notice
of such hearing served upon the claimant and other interested
parties by mail. All medical reports obtained by the carrier or
employer under this section shall be furnished free of charge
to the employee or the attorney thereof on demand.
(b) The hearing shall be held in the county where the injury
occurred, if the same occurred in this state, unless otherwise
agreed to between the parties and authorized by the judge of
industrial claims in the county where the injury occurred. If the
injury occurred without the state, and is one for which compen-
sation is payable under this chapter, then the hearing above
referred to may be held in the county of the employer's residence
or place of business, or in any other county of the state which
will at the time of forwarding the file for hearing, in the dis-
cretion of the division, be the most convenient for a hearing.
Subsequent to the forwarding of the file to such county, the
parties and the judge may agree to transfer such file to a county
that is deemed most convenient for a hearing. The hearing shall
be conducted by a judge of industrial claims, who shall within
30 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, after such
hearing determine the dispute in a summary manner. At such
hearing the claimant and employer may each present evidence in
respect of such claim and may be represented by any attorney
authorized in writing for such purpose. When there is a con-
flict in the medical evidence submitted at the hearing the judge
of industrial claims may designate a disinterested doctor to
submit a report or to testify in the proceeding, after such
doctor has reviewed the medical reports and evidence, examined
the claimant, or otherwise made such investigation as appropri-
ate. The report or testimony of any doctor so designated by the
judge of industrial claims shall be made a part of the record of
the proceeding and shall be given the same consideration by the
judge of industrial claims as is accorded other medical evidence
submitted in the proceeding; and all costs incurred in connec-
tion with such examination and testimony may be assessed as
costs in the proceeding, subject to the provisions of s. 440.13-
(3) (a). No judge of industrial claims shall either make a find-
ing of, or award compensation for, a disability for physical
impairment that is greater than the greatest disability given
the claimant by any examining or treating physician, except
upon stipulation of the parties.
(c) The order making an award or rejecting the claim, re-
ferred to in this chapter as a compensation order, shall set
forth the findings of ultimate facts and the mandate, and the
order need not include any other reason or justification for
such mandated ad. However, in making an award for diminu-
tion of wage-earning capacity, the judge of industrial claims
shall consider and make written findings of fact in the order
on each of the following factors which are applicable to the
specific claim before him:
1. Extent of claimant's actual physical impairment;
2. Claimant's age;
3. Claimant's work history;
4. Education of claimant;
5. Inability to obtain work which claimant can perform in
his after-injury condition;

The compensation order shall be filed in the office of the
division at Tallahassee. A copy of such compensation order
shall be sent by mail to the parties and attorneys of record at
the last known address of each, with the date of mailing noted
thereon.
(d) Each judge of industrial claims or the Industrial Rela-
tions Commission is required to submit a special report to the
Bureau of Workmen's Compensation in each contested work-
men's compensation case in which the case is not determined
within 30 days of final hearing oir within 180 days of filing
an application for review. Said form shall be provided by the
bureau and shall contain the name of the judge of industrial
claims, if the case is before a judge of industrial claims, the
attorneys involved, and a brief explanation by the judge of
industrial claims or the Industrial Relations Commissioner
as to the treason for such a delay in issuing a final order. The
Bureau of Workmen's Compensation shall compile these spe-
cial reports into an annual public report to the Governor, the
Secretary of Commerce, the Legislature, the Florida Bar, and
the Appellate District Judicial Nominating Commissions.
Section 9. Subsection (3) of section 440.29, Florida Stat-
utes, is amended to read:
440.29 Procedure before the commission or judges of in-
dustrial claims.-
(3) The practice and procedure before the commission and
the judges of industrial claims shall be governed by rules
adopted by the Supreme Court except to the extent that such
rules conflict with the provisions of this chapter.
Section 10. Subsection (1) of section 440.34, Florida Stat-
utes, is amended to read:
440.34 Attorney's fees; costs; penalty for violations.-
(1) If the employer or carrier shall file notice of contro-
versy as provided in s. 440.20, shall decline to pay a claim
on or before the 21st day after they have notice of same, or
shall otherwise resist unsuccessfully the payment of compen-
sation, and the claimant shall have employed an attorney at
law in the successful prosecution of the claim, there shall, in
addition to the award for compensation, be awarded a reason-
able attorney's fee of 25 percent of the first $5,000 of the
amount of the benefits secured, 20 percent of the next $5,000 of
the amount of the benefits secured, and 15 percent of the re-
maining amount of the benefits secured, to be approved by the
judge of industrial claims, which fee may be paid direct to
the attorney for the claimant in a lump sum. With respect to
attorney's fees on claims for benefits other than medical
benefits, 75 percent shall be paid by the employer or carrier
and 25 percent shall be paid by the claimant; however, the
employer or carrier shall pay all of the attorney's fee if
the claimant proves to the judge that the employer or carrier
handled his claim in a negligent, arbitrary, or capricious
manner. However, the judge of industrial claims shall con-
sider the following factors in each case and may increase or
decrease the attorney's fee if in his judgment the circum-
stances of the particular case warrant such action:
(a) The time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty
of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the
legal service properly.
(b) The likelihood, if apparent to the claimant, that the
acceptance of the particular employment will preclude employ-
ment of the lawyer by others or cause antagonisms with other
clients.
(c) The fee customarily charged in the locality for similar
legal services.
(d) The amount involved in the controversy and the bene-
fits resulting to the claimant.
(e) The time limitation imposed by the claimant or the
circumstances.
(f) The nature and length of the professional relationship
with the claimant.

written notice of claim of the right to such reimbursement is
filed by the employer or carrier entitled to such reimbursement
with the division at Tallahassee prior to 60 days after the order
awarding the excess permanent compensation with respect to
which such reimbursement is claimed becomes final or, if pay-
ment of such excess permanent compensation is made by the
employer or carrier without an award, prior to 60 days after
the date the first payment of excess compensation for the per-
manent disability was made. The notice of claim shall contain
such information as the division by rule or regulation may
require; and the employer or carrier claiming reimbursement
shall furnish such evidence in support of the claim as the divi-
sion reasonably may require. For notice of claims on the Special
Disability Trust Fund filed on or after July 1, 1978, the Special

notice that a carrier has paid, been required to pay, or accepted
liability for excess compensation, serve notice of the acceptance
of the claim for reimbursement. Failure of the Special Dis-
ability Trust Fund to serve the notice shall be deemed a denial
of the claim by the Special Disability Trust Fund for reim-
bursement. If the Special Disability Trust Fund through its
representative denies or controverts the claim, the right to
such reimbursement shall be barred unless an application for a
hearing thereon is filed with the division at Tallahassee within
60 days after notice to the employer or carrier of such denial
or controversion. When such application for a hearing is timely
filed, the claim shall be heard and determined in accordance
with the procedure prescribed in s. 440.25 to the extent that
same is applicable, and in accordance with the workmen's
compensation rules of procedure. In such proceeding on a claim
for reimbursement, the Special Disability Trust Fund shall be
made the party respondent, and no findings of fact made with
respect to the claim of the injured employee or the dependents
for compensation, including any finding made or order entered
pursuant to s. 440.20(10), shall be res judicata. The Special
Disability Trust Fund shall not be joined or made a party to
any controversy or dispute between an employee and the
dependents and the employer or between two or more employers
or carriers without the written consent of the fund. When it
has been determined that an employer or carrier is entitled to
reimbursement in any amount, the employer or carrier shall
be reimbursed periodically every 6 months from the Special
Disability Trust Fund for the compensation and medical bene-
fits paid by the employer or carrier for which same is entitled

to reimbursement, upon filing request therefore and submitting
evidence of such payment in accordance with rules prescribed
by the division.

-was read the first time by title. On motion by Mr. Craig,
the rules were waived and HB 6-D was read the second time by
title.

Mr. Brown called a point of order that the bill spoke to
public lands and was not within the purview of the Governor's
call. The Speaker said that he did not think it was technically
within the call and the motion should have been to admit for
introduction by two-thirds vote.

Mr. Craig moved that HB 6-D be admitted for introduction,
the Speaker having ruled the measure outside the purview of
the Governor's call. The motion was not agreed to by the re-
quired Constitutional two-thirds vote. The vote was:

Senate Amendment 1-A to House Amendment 1-On page 33,
strike all of lines 11 through 23 and insert a new Section
23: Section 23. The foregoing sections represent the first
phase of needed reform of the workmen's compensation law.
Further reform, which will involve the review of that part
of the law which provides compensation and other assistance
for workers with a compensable, permanent partial disability,
should be undertaken at such time as the proposals for such
review have been refined and data as to cost and other effects
have been fully developed. Accordingly, the presiding officer
of each house of the legislature shall, on or before July
1, 1978, designate members of each house of the legislature
to serve on a joint committee, for the purpose of receiving
reports, recommendations and supporting cost data from state

officers and others with expertise and experience in the work-
men's compensation system who have prepared reliable data as
to the effects of the proposals on injured workers, employers
and other members of the public. The committee so designated

shall prepare recommendations and present them to their re-
spective houses on March 1, 1979. In recognition of the seri-
ousness of the problems in the existing system and the urgent
need for major reform, Chapter 440, Florida Statutes, is re-
pealed as of July 1, 1979. There is hereby appropriated from
the general revenue fund $150,000 to carry out the provisions
of this section.

Senate Amendm ent 2-A to House Amendment 2-On page
