SACRAMENTO, CA - The California Chamber of Commerce says it is opposing AB 933, which the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee passed by a vote of 4-1 on June 23, 2010. According to CalChamber, the bill would increase the cost of performing utilization review on medical treatment requests by requiring all doctors who make utilization review decisions to be licensed in California.
