Overview
This bill changes California’s workers’ compensation laws to specifically address professional athletes, particularly those in baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, and soccer. It aims to exempt these athletes and their employers from certain workers’ compensation claims related to occupational diseases or cumulative injuries, under specific conditions. The bill outlines criteria for when an athlete is considered ‘temporarily’ within California and establishes liability rules for injuries sustained during their careers.
Key provisions
- Exempts professional athletes (baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, soccer) and their employers from workers’ compensation claims for occupational diseases or cumulative injuries under certain circumstances.
- Defines ‘temporarily within the state’ as performing less than 20% of duty days in California during the preceding 365 days.
- Specifies that an athlete is exempt if they were not hired in California and did not work in California during the last 365 days of their career.
- Establishes that liability is determined against the last team for which the athlete worked in California or the team that hired them in California.
- Requires athletes to have worked for a minimum number of seasons (2 for California-based teams, 7 total) to be subject to the regular workers’ compensation system.
- Defines ‘California-based team’ as a team playing a majority of its home games in California.
- Provides a process for verifying worker’s compensation coverage from other states.
