Immediate ruling sought on malpractice law constitutionality
Sacramento Assemblyman Richard Robinson asks for an immediate Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of last year’s malpractice insurance law. He argues the state insurance commissioner has not yet evaluated its impact on rates, and a crisis calls for quick testing of the measure. The bill AB2637 would require fast high court action, a rare move last used in the 1930s.

The California Personnel Board proposes an average 9.7 percent increase for state employees at a cost of about 194.8 million, plus 14.6 million for fringe benefits and 20.5 million for highway patrol raises. The plan contrasts with Governor Brown's call for flat dollar raises and aims to align civil servant pay with private industry and other governments. State workers already got a 7.1 percent boost this year.
