Workers’ Compensation Reform

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez have ironed out the remaining obstacles in revamping California’s workers’ comp law. Because of this, it looks like the Democratic Legislature may pass the workers’ compensation insurance reform bill as early as Friday. Larry discusses the reform with Vince Sollito, Deputy Press Secretary for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; Marc Lifsher, staff writer for the Los Angeles Times; Martin Hopper, California State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business; Brendan Huffman, Director of Public Policy for the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce; Arthur Azevedo, President of the California Applicants’ Attorney’s Association, and Jackie Goldberg, Assemblywoman representing the 45th district.
