Workers’ compensation: cannabis industry.

Summary

The bill adds a new Labor Code section that obligates any business licensed under the state’s cannabis regulations to submit proof of workers’ compensation insurance to the Division of Workers’ Compensation. It also sets up a compliance schedule, provides assistance for employers who can’t obtain coverage, and shields them from past penalties once they comply.
