Summary

The bill changes California workers’ compensation law so that when a peace officer or firefighter employed by a city, county, joint city‑county, or fire protection district is injured, the employer can recover at most one‑third of the third‑party defendant’s insurance limits. It also bars the employer from using any civil recovery to offset future workers’ compensation benefits. The changes affect settlement procedures, lien enforcement, and the Appeals Board’s crediting authority.
