Bill	Workers' compensation insurance: fraud.	Existing law governing workers' compensation requires a lien filed by or on behalf of a physician or provider of medical treatment services or medical-legal services, and any accrual of interest related to the lien, to be automatically stayed upon the filing of criminal charges against that physician or provider for an offense involving fraud against the workers' compensation system, medical billing fraud, insurance fraud, or fraud against the Medicare or Medi-Cal programs. Existing law makes the stay effective from the time of the filing of the charges until the disposition of the criminal proceedings.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 1422	California AB 1422 (20172018)	bill	Workers' compensation insurance: fraud.	enacted	Daly	8	35	6	2017-02-17	2017-09-26	openstates	ocd-bill/e1247d63-3b97-4104-9084-57ce1ca2ebd8	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1422	8ce4fc518bcd7651f711e8f67618796fb1ec8b59ce930f07bdf4a3ff9b5a6cff	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
