Amend CSSB 5, in SECTION 4.02, by striking Sec. 1305.304 
(page 99, line 46-52), and substituting the following:
	Sec. 1305.304.  GUIDELINES AND PROTOCOLS.  (a)  The 
commissioner shall adopt rules ensuring consistent and uniform 
statewide treatment guidelines applying to all networks in the 
state to ensure consistency and equality of care throughout the 
state.  Provided, however, that these guidelines shall not create 
limitations or restrictions on the quality and intensity of care 
required to return the injured worker to work.
	(b)  Each network shall adopt treatment guidelines, and 
return-to-work guidelines in accordance with commission rule.  The 
treatment must be evidence-based, scientifically valid, and 
outcome focused and be designed to reduce inappropriate or 
unnecessary health care while safeguarding necessary care.
	(c)  Health care provider payment schedules used by networks 
shall acknowledge the intensity level of treatment required to 
rehabilitate an injured worker to meet the physical demands of the 
injured workers employment and shall not be directed to solely 
achieve activities of daily living (ADL).
