Summary

The bill adds new disclosure rules to California’s workers’ compensation law. Anyone who can benefit financially from a referral – such as employees, employers, insurers, attorneys, or medical providers – must put that interest in writing when a claim for payment is submitted. Violating the rule is a misdemeanor with civil fines and possible professional discipline.
