CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 3295

Introduced by Assembly Member Santiago

February 21, 2020

---

An act to amend Section 3208.2 of the Labor Code, relating to workers’ compensation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 3295, as introduced, Santiago. Workers’ compensation: apportionment.

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 employment. If disability, the need for medical treatment, or death results from the combined effects of 2 or more injuries, existing law requires all questions of fact and law to be separately determined with respect to each injury.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this requirement.
