INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Perea

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2015

   An act to add Section 5307.28 to the Labor Code, relating to
workers' compensation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1124, as introduced, Perea. Workers' compensation: formulary:
prescription medications.
   Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system,
administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of
Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries
sustained in the course of employment. The administrative director is
authorized to adopt, amend, or repeal, after public hearings, any
rules and regulations that are reasonably necessary to enforce the
state workers' compensation provisions, except where that power is
specifically reserved to the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.
   This bill would require the administrative director to establish a
formulary for the purposes of prescribing prescription medications.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 5307.28 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   5307.28.  The administrative director shall establish a formulary
for the purposes of prescribing prescription medications.
