CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the State Compensation Insurance Fund's (SCIF) petition for reconsideration of an order denying a change of venue. The Board found that the venue decision was an interlocutory order not subject to reconsideration. Even if considered for removal, SCIF's petition would have been denied as they were not listed on the initial application and therefore not subject to the thirty-day objection period for venue. However, SCIF may still seek a venue change by showing good cause under Labor Code section 5501.6.
