	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Calderon

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to add Section 3702.11 to the Labor Code, relating to
workers' compensation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 683, as introduced, Calderon. Workers' compensation: group
self-insurers: audits.
   Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system,
administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of
Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries
sustained in the course of his or her employment.
   Existing law requires the administrative director to conduct
audits of insurers, self-insured employers, and 3rd-party
administrators to ensure that injured workers are promptly and
accurately receiving the full measure of compensation they are
entitled to receive.
   This bill would require a group self-insurer to annually file with
the director an annual audit by an independent, certified public
accountant of the financial accounts and records of the group
self-insurer. The bill would prohibit audited financial or claim
information of individual members of the group self-insurer from
being made public.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 3702.11 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   3702.11.  A group self-insurer shall annually file with the
director an annual audit by an independent, certified public
accountant of the financial accounts and records of the group
self-insurer. No audited financial or claim information of individual
members of the group self-insurer shall be made public.
