The Department of
Labor (DOL) will require an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation to the
Safety Education and Training Fund of $2.23 million starting in fiscal year
2026-2027 to implement the provisions of this bill. This bill would double
the cap on the total amount that the DOL may assess to insurance carriers and
group and individual group and self-insured employers to fund its safety and
education program. Under current law, the cap is set at 1% of total workers'
compensation benefits (exclusive of medical payments) paid by licensed
insurance carriers and group and individual self-insured employers. This bill
would raise the cap to 2%. The fiscal
estimate assumes that the Department will assess a levy equal to the
cap. |
