LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2705, as introduced, Ortega. Public employees: retraining and rehabilitation.

Existing law requires every public agency, its insurance carrier, and the Department of Rehabilitation to jointly formulate procedures for the selection and referral of injured full-time public employees who may be benefited by rehabilitation services and retrained for other positions in public service.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
