2021 Legislation
AB 334 – will establish/create a rebuttable presumption within the Workers Compensation system that skin cancer among Fish and Wildlife Officers and Park Rangers is associated with excessive exposure to the sun during their employment, removing unnecessary barriers for these employees to qualify for workers compensation benefits.
AB 435 – is a consumer protection bill that strengthens an individuals’ ability to understand prior to purchasing a hearing-aid if it contains proprietary software and cannot be repaired/adjusted at a different retailer than where it was originally purchased.
