NEW PEST CONTROL LAW
Gov. Newsom signed SB 1064 into law which requires exterminators to file proof of having workers' compensation insurance with the California Structural Pest Control Board (SPBC), or otherwise certifies the pest control contractor has no employees.
Additionally, insurance carriers will be required to notify the SPBC if a workers' compensation policy has been cancelled following an investigation by the carrier of an exterminator's misrepresentation of having no employees and fails to reimburse the carrier for the underreported wages.
PREPAID DISABILITY PAYMENT CARDS EXTENDED
On July 19, 2022 Gov. Newsom signed into law AB 2148 which extends to 1/1/2024 (from 1/1/2023) the use of prepaid debit cards by injured workers for TD and PD payments, with the permission of both the employer and employee. [Labor Code Section 4651]
