Brown signs 10 labor bills in California measures
Gov. Brown announced the signing of 10 labor bills, including two by Assemblyman Alister McAlister that boost workers compensation benefits for injuries and deaths and a bill by Assemblyman Howard Berman increasing a fund transfer. McAlister's measure raises surviving spouse benefits from 40 000 to 50 000 and weekly disability benefits to higher levels, funded by a 70 million increase in employer taxes. Berman's bill tightens enforcement on uninsured employers. A separate bill by Sen. Alfred Alquist expands requirements on workers compensation coverage.
