Chapter 3Insurance
Section § 6130
This law allows California State agencies to get insurance coverage for their employees' work-related injuries or deaths, especially when those injuries or deaths aren't covered by the standard workers' compensation laws. The agency can use the State Compensation Insurance Fund or another insurer if the Fund refuses coverage. This insurance can cover hospital bills, medical costs, financial compensation, and death benefits, regardless of who is at fault for the accident.

Section § 6131
This law states that the cost for insurance is a legitimate expense for government agencies in California, and this expense can be charged to the agency's budget. If an agency's budget comes from multiple funds, they can decide how to split the insurance cost among those funds, with approval from the Director of Finance.
The premium for such insurance shall be a proper charge against any moneys appropriated for the support of or expenditure by such State agency. In case such State agency is supported by or authorized to expend moneys appropriated out of more than one fund, it may, with the approval of the Director of Finance, determine the proportion of such premium to be paid out of each such fund.
