SB 1105 - This act modifies certain definitions pertaining
to workers' compensation. It provides that an injury is work-
related if work was the dominant substantial factor in the cause
of injury. It excludes personal health conditions and injury
resulting from idiopathic causes. Recovery is not allowed for
aggravation of a preexisting condition except to the extent that
the work-related injury causes increased disability. Awards
shall be reduced by the amount of permanent partial disability
determined to be preexisting.
