Workers' compensation: court administrator.
Summary
Existing law creates the position of court administrator with respect to the workers' compensation adjudicatory process at the trial level. The court administrator is appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and has specified powers and duties relating to the workers' compensation trial process, including supervision of administrative law judges and prescribing certain forms and calendars. This bill would remove the position of court administrator and distribute the duties to the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, as specified. The bill would make other technical and conforming changes. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
