Is SCF a state agency?
A. Not in the usual sense. SCF was created through enabling legislation, has a Board of Directors appointed by the governor, undergoes a budget review by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and is required to submit to a legislative “sunset review” every 10 years, but in most other respects, SCF operates like a mutual insurance company with no liability to the State. The Arizona Legislature specifically exempted SCF from most links to the State, including personnel. Like all workers’ compensation insurance carriers in Arizona, SCF is regulated by the Arizona Department of Insurance and the Arizona Industrial Commission.
