This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law establishes in the Employment Development Department the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board to review the decisions of administrative law judges regarding petitions for unemployment insurance benefits. Existing law establishes within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency the California Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board to conduct hearings when an employer served with a special order relating to occupational safety and health appeals that order, and also establishes the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board which has jurisdiction to determine workers' compensation claims of an employee for injuries sustained in the course of his or her employment. This bill would abolish the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, the California Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board, and the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and transfer their duties to the Employment and Benefits Appeals Board, which this bill would create in the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The bill would make conforming changes to existing law.
