  (a) The commission shall conduct a continuing examination of
the workers' compensation system, as defined in Section 4 of Article
XIV of the California Constitution, and of the state's activities to
prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases. The commission

reasonable request provide information and data in their possession
that the commission deems necessary for the purpose of carrying out
its responsibilities. The commission shall issue an annual report on
the state of the workers' compensation system, including
recommendations for administrative or legislative modifications which
would improve the operation of the system. The report shall be made
available to the Governor, the Legislature, and the public on
request.
   (b) On or before July 1, 2003, and periodically thereafter as it
deems necessary, the commission shall issue a report and
recommendations on the improvement and simplification of the notices
required to be provided by insurers and self-insured employers.

powers, duties, purposes, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the
Health and Safety Commission which is hereby abolished, including the
