	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1393, as amended,  Committee on Insurance 
 Perea  .  Workers' compensation: studies. 
 Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.  
   The California Safe Drinking Water Act (state act) provides for
the operation of public water systems and imposes on the State
Department of Public Health various duties and responsibilities.
Existing law requires the department to conduct research, studies,
and demonstration projects relating to the provision of a dependable,
safe supply of drinking water, to adopt regulations to implement the
state act, and to enforce provisions of the federal Safe Drinking
Water Act.  
   The Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Law of 1997
establishes the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to provide
grants or revolving fund loans for the design and construction of
projects for public water systems that will enable suppliers to meet
safe drinking water standards. Under that law, the department is
responsible for administering the fund.  
   This bill would transfer the administration of the fund and the
grant and loan program to the State Water Resources Control Board.
 
   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 his or her employment.  
   Existing law requires the Commission on Health and Safety and
Workers' Compensation to undertake a specified study examining the
causes of the number of insolvencies among workers' compensation
insurers between the calendar years of 1998 and 2008, to be conducted
by an independent research organization, and requires the commission
and the Department of Industrial Relations, no later than July 1,
2009, to publish the report of the study on its Internet Web site and
to inform the Legislature and the Governor of the availability of
the report.  
   Existing law requires the administrative director to begin a
study, on or before July 1, 2003, of medical treatment provided to
workers who have sustained industrial injuries and illnesses, and to
report and make recommendations, based on the results of the study,
to the Legislature, on or before July 1, 2004.  
   Existing law requires the administrative director, after
consultation with the Insurance Commissioner, to contract with a
qualified organization to study the effects of the 2003 and 2004
legislative reforms on workers' compensation insurance rates, and
requires the administrative director to submit the final study on or
before January 1, 2006.  
   This bill would repeal these workers' compensation study
requirements. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
