Workers' compensation; cost of automobile.

Such payment may be required if modifications to or equipment for the employee's automobile are not appropriate. The provision of funds for an automobile under this measure is separate from the $42,000 aggregate cap on expenses for modifications to or equipment for the employee's automobile and for bedside lifts, adjustable beds, and modification of the employee's principal home consisting of ramps, handrails, doorway alterations, or any appliances prescribed by the treating physician.
