14.19 	of the volunteers from the sending Minnesota Responds Medical Reserve Corps units to 
14.20 	the receiving jurisdiction. The commissioner shall track volunteer deployments and assist

14.30 	as of their initial deployment in response to the event or emergency that triggered a 
14.31 	subsequent commissioner's call.
14.32 	(f)(1) A Minnesota Responds Medical Reserve Corps volunteer responding to a 
14.33 	request for training or assistance at the call of the commissioner must be deemed an 
14.34 	employee of the state for purposes of workers' compensation and tort claim defense and

14.36 	under the direction and control of the commissioner, the division of homeland security 
15.1 	and emergency management, the sending jurisdiction, the receiving jurisdiction, or of a 
15.2 	hospital, alternate care site, or other health care provider treating patients from the public 
15.3 	health event or emergency.
15.4 	(2) For purposes of calculating workers' compensation benefits under chapter 176, 
15.5 	the daily wage must be the usual wage paid at the time of injury or death for similar services 
15.6 	performed by paid employees in the community where the volunteer regularly resides, or 
15.7 	the wage paid to the volunteer in the volunteer's regular employment, whichever is greater.
15.8 	(g) The Minnesota Responds Medical Reserve Corps volunteer must receive 
15.9 	reimbursement for travel and subsistence expenses during a deployment approved by the 
15.10 	commissioner under this subdivision according to reimbursement limits established for 
15.11 	paid state employees. Deployment begins when the volunteer leaves on the deployment 
15.12 	until the volunteer returns from the deployment, including all travel related to the 
15.13 	deployment. The Department of Health shall initially review and pay those expenses to 
15.14 	the volunteer. Except as otherwise provided by the Interstate Emergency Management 
15.15 	Assistance Compact in section 192.89 or agreements made thereunder, the department 
15.16 	shall bill the jurisdiction receiving assistance and that jurisdiction shall reimburse the 
15.17 	department for expenses of the volunteers.
15.18 	(h) In the event Minnesota Responds Medical Reserve Corps volunteers are 
15.19 	deployed outside the state pursuant to the Interstate Emergency Management Assistance 
15.20 	Compact, the provisions of the Interstate Emergency Management Assistance Compact 
15.21 	must control over any inconsistent provisions in this section.
15.22 	(i) When a Minnesota Responds Medical Reserve Corps volunteer makes a claim 
15.23 	for workers' compensation arising out of a deployment under this section or out of a 
15.24 	training exercise conducted by the commissioner, the volunteer's workers compensation 
15.25 	benefits must be determined under section 176.011, subdivision 9, clause (25), even if the 
15.26 	volunteer may also qualify under other clauses of section 176.011, subdivision 9.
