AB 375 - An Act to Add Section 3212.13 to the Labor Code, Relating to Workers’ Compensation.

An Act to Add Section 3212.13 to the Labor Code, Relating to Workers’ Compensation.

AB 375 — 2011-2012 Legislature

Summary

Existing law provides that an injury of an employee arising out of and in the course of employment is generally compensable through the workers’ compensation system. Existing law provides that, in the case of certain public employees, the term “injury” includes heart trouble, hernia, pneumonia, human immunodeficiency virus, lower back impairment, and other injuries and diseases.

This bill would provide, with respect to hospital employees who provide direct patient care in an acute care hospital, as defined, that the term “injury” includes a bloodborne infectious disease, as defined, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that develops or manifests itself during the period of the person’s employment with the hospital.

This bill would further create a disputable presumption that the above injury arises out of and in the course of the person’s employment if it develops or manifests as specified.
