SBAC-Sponsored Study Shows Public Employers Saved Billions from Workers Compensation Reform

The Small Business Action Committee sponsored a study showing that California public sector employers have been among the biggest beneficiaries of the workers compensation reforms passed in 2004. The study was released in September 2007.

According to the study, which was conducted from SBAC by Dr. Steven Frates of the Center for Government Analysis, state and local governments have saved $1.87 billion in workers compensation premiums and costs since SB 899 was enacted.
