Established in 1914 by the state legislature, State Fund is California's most reliable provider of workers' compensation insurance and a vital asset to California businesses. State Fund supports California's entrepreneurial spirit and plays a stabilizing role in the economy by providing fairly priced workers' compensation insurance, helping California employers keep their workplaces safe, and restoring injured workers.

History of ADR in California’s Workers’ Compensation System

As part of 1993 reforms to the workers’ compensation system, the California Legislature added Labor Code Section §3201.5, which became effective on July 16, 1993, and authorizes ADR programs for construction contractors. Effective January 1, 2004, under Labor Code Section §3201.7, ADR programs were extended to all industries in California other than construction.

Note: State Compensation Insurance Fund is not a branch of the State of California.
