Section 24011 Of Chapter 25. Disability Allowance From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 13. >> Chapter 25.
24011
. A member who qualifies for disability allowance pursuant to
this chapter because of a disabling impairment that is amenable to
treatment that could be expected to restore the member's ability to
perform service in the member's former position of employment or a
comparable level position shall participate in a treatment program
prescribed by the member's primary treating physician. Willful
failure to initiate and continue participation in the treatment
program shall cause the disability allowance to be terminated. In
determining whether a member has good cause for failure to follow the
treatment program, the board shall take into account whether
treatment would abridge the member's right to the free exercise of
religion or whether the member's physical or mental condition has
worsened, as determined by the member's treating physician and
substantiated by medical evidence.
