Heading: constitutionality of the presumptive acceptance provision

Text: This Court specifically upheld the constitutionality of the presumptive acceptance provision of the Workers' Compensation Act in Wells v. Jefferson County, Ky., 255 S.W.2d 462 (1953). See also, Mullins v. Manning Coal Corporation, Ky., 938 S.W.2d 260 (1997), cert. denied, 521 U.S. 1119, 117 S.Ct. 2511, 138 L.Ed.2d 1014 (1997). We find nothing raised herein which compels us to revisit the issue and, therefore, we reaffirm our decision in Wells upholding the constitutionality of the Workers' Compensation Act and the presumptive acceptance provision contained therein.
