LC 4660 authorizes which entity to prepare, adopt, and amend a schedule?

• A. Medical Director
• B. Administrative Director
• C. Governor
• D. Board of Supervisors

Answer: (B)

In California workers’ compensation, the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers’ Compensation has the authority to prepare, adopt, and amend official schedules. This office uses the Labor Code to set and update schedules that govern medical treatment, fees, and related claim administration, ensuring uniform standards across the system. The Medical Director handles clinical matters within plans or facilities, not state-wide regulatory schedules. The Governor signs laws but doesn’t draft these schedules, and the Board of Supervisors governs county-level matters rather than statewide regulatory schedules. So the Administrative Director is the one empowered to manage the schedule.
