Senate exempts occasional work from coverage
SACRAMENTO AP Occasional baby sitters and yard workers would no longer have workers compensation coverage under a measure approved by the Senate.

It would require homeowners CPL policies to include workers' compensation, with an estimated cost of $2 or less, and moves to a two house conference committee for final amendments before passage.
