ARTICLE 3. Rating and Other Organizations
Section 11751.3

(a) Subject to the approval of the commissioner, a rating organization licensed under this article may adopt any reasonable constitution, articles of incorporation, or agreement of association, and may make reasonable rules for the regulation of its members and the conduct of its business by bylaws or otherwise. In a rating organization of which the State Compensation Insurance Fund is a member, it shall be entitled without election to membership on the managing or governing committee and on the classification and rating committee thereof.

(b) In addition, after consultation with the California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, other statewide organized labor organizations, and statewide associations representing business, the commissioner shall appoint two public members representing insured employers and two public members representing organized labor to serve on the managing or governing committee of a rating organization. The bylaws of a rating organization shall permit a public member from time to time to designate in his or her stead a representative from the same employer organization or an affiliated employee union, as the case may be, to attend and participate in any meeting of the governing committee of a rating organization.
