Description
As originally presented by the parties, this case called upon us to construe the 1988 amendment to AS 23.30.220(a). This statute prescribes the wage base on which an injured workers disability benefits are calculated. In the course of considering each partys contentions on this issue, we became aware of potential constitutional problems with the wage base calculation scheme found in AS 23.30.220(a). Specifically, we recognized that the formula contained in section 220(a) would result in substantially different compensation rates for workers who appeared to be in important respects similarly situated. These differences raised questions under the due process and equal protection clauses of the Alaska Constitution. Sua sponte, we ordered the parties to file supplemental memoranda addressing these questions. We now hold that the AS 23.30.220(a) formula violates the equal protection clause of the Alaska Constitution.
