Autry v. Multiple Injury Trust Fund, 2001 OK 79, 38 P.3d 213, involved the 1999 amendment to 85 O.S. Supp. 1994 172, which began the dissolution of Fund by precluding its liability for permanent partial disability (PPD) in actions filed after October 31, 1999. The claimant there, a physically impaired person, sustained a subsequent injury in 1995 and filed his claim against the employer for that injury on September 14, 1999, but did not file his claim against Fund until January 2000. The parties argued over whether the pre-amendment or post-amendment version of 172(A) applied. The Supreme Court held that was not the dispositive issue, rather it was what the Legislature meant when it precluded Fund's liability for PPD "for actions filed after October 31, 1999" in the 1999 amendment. The Court found the phrase in question referred to "actions" for PPD benefits against the employer, and not filing an "action" against Fund for material increase in PPD. The Court, noting PPD was not recoverable from Fund after the 1999 amendment, concluded the Legislature would not have made an ineffectual filing the operative event in the statute.
