Existing law establishes within the Employment Development Department an Appeals Division consisting of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and its employees. Each member of the appeals board serves for a term of 4 years and until the member's successor is appointed and qualifies.
This bill would delete obsolete language relating to 1965 amendment of that term provision.
Existing law requires the department to maintain current information on operations within the state of all types of youth employment programs, including specified programs.
This bill would delete the references to specified programs.
Existing law states the public policy of the state regarding barring or terminating employment on the ground of age.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Existing law authorizes the Director of Employment Development, if the director believes that a change in contributions rate or disability benefit amounts may become necessary to protect the solvency of the Disability Fund, to inform the Governor and the Legislature and make recommendations.
This bill would require the director, instead of informing the Legislature, to inform the Assembly Committee on Insurance and the Senate Committee on Labor, Public Employment, and Retirement Committee.
The bill would update obsolete references in existing law to a predecessor committee to instead refer to the Senate Committee on Labor, Public Employment, and Retirement.
Existing law requires every employer, except the state, to secure the payment of workers' compensation as provided by law. Existing law authorizes an employer to insure against liability through insurers duly authorized to write compensation insurance in the state. Under existing law, an employer includes the owner or occupant of a residential dwelling who hires a person whose duties are incidental to the ownership, maintenance, or use of the dwelling, including the care and supervision of children, or whose duties are personal and not in the course of the trade, business, profession, or occupation of the owner or occupant. Existing law requires a policy providing comprehensive personal liability insurance issued or renewed after January 1, 1977, to contain a provision for coverage against liability for workers' compensation for the employee of an owner or occupant of a residential dwelling, unless another valid, collectible workers' compensation insurance policy exists for that liability.
This bill would authorize an owner or occupant of a residential dwelling to include their workers' compensation coverage in a policy of homeowners' insurance issued by a nonadmitted insurer.
