CLCA Works Hard at Washington D.C. Legislative Conference to Reform Workers Compensation

During the Construction Industry Legislative Conference's Day (April 27 at our nation's Capitol) CLCA members educated lawmakers about the ?EUR??,,????'??real world?EUR??,,????'?? impact of workers compensation and other important labor issues.

The day opened with a presentation by Mike Strech, the California Building Industry Association's director of risk management and insurance. Strech's speech described increasingly successful efforts to lure insurance companies back into the California market, which should result in lower workers compensation insurance rates.

Attendees also heard from Dan Walters, an influential columnist for the Sacramento Bee, who reported that he was surprised by the workers compensation success of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other speakers included Curt Augustine, deputy secretary for legislation for the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and Contractors State License Board registrar Steve Sands.
