Summary
(1) Existing law establishes the State Compensation Insurance Fund to be administered by a board of directors for the purpose of transacting workers' compensation insurance and other public employment related insurances, as specified. The board of directors is composed of 11 members, 9 of whom are appointed by the Governor. This bill would require that the Governor's appointments be subject to confirmation by the Senate. (2) Existing law requires that the assets of the fund be applicable to the payment of losses sustained on account of insurance and to the payment of salaries and other expenses. This bill would require that each employee of the fund, at no cost to the employee, obtain an appropriate certificate for transacting workers' compensation insurance as a condition of employment. The bill would require the fund, in cooperation with the Insurance Commissioner, to adopt minimum standards of training, experience, and skills that employees are required to possess to perform their duties, and would require the fund to become an approved education provider for those purposes. (3) Existing law authorizes the Director of Finance, acting as agent for the state, to sell a portion of or otherwise obtain value for the State Compensation Insurance Fund assets and liabilities. Existing law specifies the procedures applicable to the sale or other disposition of these assets and liabilities, and would require that the proceeds of any sale or any proceeds achieved through any other disposition of workers' compensation assets and liabilities, less transaction costs, be deposited into the General Fund. This bill would repeal those provisions.
