	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1394, Committee on Insurance. State Compensation Insurance
Fund: executive appointments.
   Existing law provides for the existence of the State Compensation
Insurance Fund (SCIF) to be administered by a board of directors for
the purpose of transacting workers' compensation insurance, and
insurance against the expense of defending any suit for serious and
willful misconduct, against an employer or his or her agent, and
insurance to employees and other persons of the compensation fixed by
the workers' compensation laws for employees and their dependents.
Existing law authorizes the board of directors of SCIF to appoint a
president, a chief financial officer, a chief operating officer, a
chief information technology officer, a chief investment officer, a
chief risk officer, and a general counsel.
   This bill would additionally authorize the board of directors of
SCIF to appoint a chief medical officer, a chief actuarial officer, a
chief claims operations officer, and a chief of internal affairs,
and make those positions subject to the Milton Marks Postgovernment
Employment Restrictions Act of 1990.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11785 of the Insurance Code is amended to read:

chief financial officer, a chief operating officer, a chief
information technology officer, a chief investment officer, a chief
risk officer, a general counsel, a chief medical officer, a chief
actuarial officer, a chief claims operations officer, and a chief of
internal affairs. The board of directors shall set the salary for
each position. These positions shall not be subject to otherwise
applicable provisions of the Government Code and the Public Contract
Code, and for those purposes the fund shall not be considered a state
agency or other public entity. The president shall manage and
conduct the business and affairs of the fund under the general
direction and subject to the approval of the board of directors, and
shall perform other duties as the board of directors prescribes.
   (b) Section 87406 of the Government Code, the Milton Marks

officer, the chief operating officer, the general counsel, a chief
medical officer, a chief actuarial officer, a chief claims operations
officer, and a chief of internal affairs, and any other person
designated by the fund shall be deemed to be designated employees for
the purpose of that act.
   (c) Both the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing
with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2
of the Government Code) and the California Public Records Act
(Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1
of the Government Code) shall apply to the fund.
