A recording of the California JPIA’s webinar regarding Senate Bill 1127 (SB 1127) will be available to Authority members in the coming weeks. The webinar, which was held in November, featured panel presenters providing their perspectives on the bill’s impact to the California JPIA and its member agencies. SB 1127 fundamentally changes the way presumptive workers’ compensation claims are handled, including:
- increased temporary disability period for cancer claims
- reduced discovery period for presumptive claims
- penalties associated with “unreasonable denials”
