Calif. WC Reform Faces Uncertain Future
A possible ballot initiative or a new legislative offering are viewed as possible scenarios following California Gov. Gray Davis veto last month of measures to raise workers compensation benefits, according to one insurer group.
“At this point there is a great deal of uncertainty,” said Mark Webb, vice president for state affairs at the American Insurance Association in Sacramento. “There is an expectation that organized labor will be filing an initiative any time now. Their primary objective would be to create a greater sense of urgency on the part of the governor to sign a benefit increase bill in 2002.”
