AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN OF THE
GENERAL STATUTES OF NORTH CAROLINA RELA-ATIVE
TO THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
Section 1. Chapter ninety-seven of the General Statutes of
North Carolina is hereby amended as follows:
1. Amend Section ninety-seven - two (a) by inserting a
comma after the word "services" in line seven, and striking out
the remainder of the sentence, and in lieu thereof insert the
following: and an individual sawmill and logging operator with
less than ten (10) employees, who saws and logs less than
sixty (60) days in any six consecutive months and whose prin-cipal
business is unrelated to sawmilling or logging.
2. Amend Section ninety-seven - two (e) by adding after
the end of said subsection a new paragraph to read as follows
:
Where a minor employee, under the age of twenty-one years,
sustains a permanent disability or dies, the compensation pay-able
for permanent disability or death shall be calculated, first,
upon the average weekly wage paid to adult employees em-ployed
by the same employer at the time of the accident in a
similar or like class of work which the injured minor employee
would probably have been promoted to if not injured, or, sec-ond,
upon such other method as may be used to compute the
average weekly wage as will most nearly approximate the
amount which the injured employee would be earning as an
adult if it were not for the accident. Compensation for tem-porary
total disability shall be computed upon the average
weekly wage at the time of the accident, unless the total dis-ability
extends more than fifty-two weeks and then the com-pensation
may be increased in proportion to his expected earn-ings.
3. Amend Section ninety-seven - four by striking out in lines
eight and nine the words "and notice of waiver of exemption
heretofore referred to"; and by inserting after the period and
before the word "The" in line fifteen the following:
An employee may waive notice of nonacceptance by giving
five days notice in the manner provided for nonacceptance.
4. Amend Section ninety-seven - seven by striking out the
remainder of said section after the word "them": in line nine
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
Provided, that all counties are hereby authorized to self-insure
or purchase insurance to secure its liability under this
