DIVISION 9: LABOR
§ 9344. Substitution of Carrier for Employer. In any case where the employer is not a self-insurer, in order that liability for compensation imposed by this chapter may be most effectively discharged by the employer, and in order that the administration of this chapter in respect to such liability may be facilitated, the commission shall by regulation provide for the discharge, by the carrier for such employer, as it considers proper in order to effectuate the provisions of this chapter. For such purposes: (a) Notice to or knowledge by an employer of the occurrence of the injury shall be deemed notice to or knowledge by the carrier, (b) Jurisdiction over the employer by the administrator, the commission, or any court under this chapter shall be sufficient to confer jurisdiction over the carrier, and (c) Any requirement by the administrator, the commission, or any court under any compensation order, finding, or decision shall be binding upon the carrier in the same manner and to the same extent as upon the employer.
