OAG 77-527 is cited in the decision to highlight the previous understanding and interpretation of the voluntary rejection provisions in the Workmen's Compensation Act. The decision discusses how OAG 77-527 recognized potential issues with employers possibly requiring employees to reject coverage as a condition of employment, which would not be a truly voluntary decision. The current decision builds upon this by suggesting a procedural solution to ensure that rejections are indeed voluntary, thus modifying the approach suggested in OAG 77-527.
OAG 77-527 was Modified by OAG 78-465
