AB 698: Workers’ compensation.
- Session Year: 2015-2016
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2015-02-25
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, and provides that it is the intent of the Legislature that any use of the obsolete term workmens compensation be replaced in the law with the term workers compensation.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the above provision.
The Legislature hereby declares its intent that the term workmens compensation shall hereafter also be known as workers compensation, and that the Workmens Compensation Appeals Board shall hereafter be known as the Workers Compensation Appeals Board. In furtherance of this policy it is the desire of the Legislature that references to the terms workmens compensation and Workmens Compensation Appeals Board in this code or elsewhere be changed to workers compensation and Workers Compensation Appeals Board when such those laws are being amended for any purpose. This act is declaratory and not amendatory of existing law.
