An update today on 2002 workers‘ compensation bills in California by the American Insurance Association restated the association‘s support of legislation significant to insurers.
Mark Webb, vice president for state affairs, gave a conference call summary of what can be expected this month in workers‘ comp legislation.
The most significant piece of legislation, he said, will be the "as yet unmaterialized cleanup bill to Assembly Bill 749," sponsored by Insurance Committee Chairman Tom Calderon, D-Montebello. The workers‘ comp benefit increase package was signed into law last February.
"There have been a number of discussions between the stakeholders from the system on what to include in this, but at this point it doesn‘t appear that any real decisions have been made," Mr. Webb explained.
