Workers Compensation

Monitor reforms and provide recommendations on future workers’ compensation reform measures to reduce financial impact to businesses.

AB 1862 Workers Compensation: First Aid (Vargas) (April 2006)
 

The Chamber supported AB 1862 which would clear up confusion of the definition "any follow up visit" currently in Section 5401 of the Labor Code and allow more than one follow-up visit for observation. For example, observation of a laceration for infection might require a second or third visit, with no lost time or work modifications required.
