On September 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law two COVID-19 related bills—Senate Bill ("SB") 1159 and Assembly Bill ("AB") 685.
SB 1159 sets forth rebuttable presumption standards to establish workers’ compensation coverage for employees who contract COVID-19. AB 685 modifies occupational safety standards to require employers to provide notice and report information related to COVID-19 exposures, and provides the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health ("Cal/OSHA") expanded authority to enforce such requirements and ensure safe workplace operations.
This webinar will explain SB1159 and AB685 in detail and how this will affect your organization.
