The bill would amend the Labor Code relating to workers' compensation and other remedies available to an injured temporary employee. The bill would require the state or political subdivision of the state to accept as proof of workers' compensation coverage a certificate of insurance coverage showing that a temporary employment service maintains a policy of workers' compensation coverage for the temporary employment service and the client of the temporary employment service.
