Member Facilities and Medical Groups: A California JPA
A risk management joint powers authority (JPA) like BETA Risk Management Authority (BETARMA) enables district,
county, city, and nonprofit healthcare facilities to self-insure their liability claims and losses by pooling risks among
similar healthcare facilities. While traditional insurance companies also "pool" their risks, the JPA structure offers
four distinct benefits over other risk-financing mechanisms:
Members design and control the program free from California Department of Insurance regulation
The program pays no state premium tax
The program pays no state or federal income tax
The program has no shareholders to influence decisions
Governance: Ethics Training
On October 7, 2005, the Governor signed Assembly Bill No. 1234 which was chaptered as Government Code
Section 53234 through 53235.2. This law requires that if a local agency provides any type of compensation,
salary, or stipend to, or reimburses the expenses of, a member of its 'legislative body' (as that term is defined in
California Government Code Section 54952), that local agency's officials must receive training in ethics. Based on
BETARMA's policies regarding meeting fees and expense reimbursements, the BETA Council members are subject
to this law and shall receive at least two hours of training in general ethics principles and ethics laws every two
years. While not required by the law, it is BETARMA's policy to require its Senior Staff and (beginning in 2011) its
Branch Managers to receive at least two hours of ethics training every two years.
New BETA Council members, Senior Staff and Branch Managers are required to complete the ethics training no
later than one year from the first day of service to BETARMA. BETARMA provides information on training available
to meet the requirements of the law to the BETA Council, Senior Staff and Branch Managers at least once annually.
The ethics training certificates are provided below for the most recently completed two-year time period which
ended on December 31, 2010. As required, these records will be retained at least five years after completion of
the training.
