Corona Chamber Business Briefing: SB 213

Description

These weekly briefings feature updates critical to the business sector, and vary in topic based on what's relevant now. Advocacy is a large focus, as we work to ensure a favorable business climate.

SB 213 is a major expansion of the worker's compensation liability for health care employers, specifically hospitals, that places the employer at fault for almost all sorts of disease, including cancer and psychological issues for up to 10 years after ending employment either voluntarily or involuntarily.  California's Legislature has a long history of slowly breaking the worker's compensation system over a number of years (usually about 5) and then providing reform that solves about 60% of the problems to make the system barely workable again, only to start breaking the system again...
 
SB 213 if passed will immediately become grounds for expansion of these workers compensation benefits to other workers either by lawsuit, further legislation, or regulatory misapplication as has happened regularly throughout the history of the workers compensation insurance system going back at least into the 1980's.

Join us as we discuss opposing SB 213 during this week's meeting.

We will also hear a vaccine update from Michele Nissen, Chief of Staff for Riverside County Supervisor Karen Spiegel, District 2.
