Article 2.5. Personal Liability Insurance Providing Workers’ Compensation Coverage For Household Employees of California Insurance Code >> Division 2. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 2.5.

Except as provided in Section 11591, no policy providing comprehensive personal liability insurance may be issued or renewed in this state on or after January 1, 1977, unless it contains a provision for coverage against liability for the payment of compensation, as defined in Section 3207 of the Labor Code, to any person defined as an employee by subdivision (d) of Section 3351 of the Labor Code. Any such policy in effect on or after January 1, 1977, whether or not actually containing such provisions, shall be construed as if such provisions were embodied therein. However, such coverage shall not apply if any other existing, valid and collectible, workers' compensation insurance for such liability is applicable to the injury or death of such employee.

The requirements of Section 11590 shall be inapplicable to any such policy of insurance or endorsement where the services of such employee are in connection with the trade, business, profession, or occupation, as such terms are defined in Sections 3355 and 3356 of the Labor Code, of the insured.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (f) of Section 1851, the rates, classifications, and rating systems for the workers' compensation insurance covering those persons defined as employees by subdivision (d) of Section 3351 of the Labor Code, and the insurers issuing such insurance coverage, shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 1850) of Part 2 of Division 1.

The premium charge for the coverage required by Section 11590 shall not be separately stated from that charged for other coverage under the policy in the insured's copy of the following: premium notice, policy, endorsement or memorandum of insurance.
