The opinion

*729 NEWMAN, J.

I concur in the result but do not agree with the majority’s suggestion that “the Legislature may not go beyond the precise terms of the constitutional enabling provisions — except, perhaps, that it may use its plenary or police powers to promote the overall purposes of the workers’ compensation scheme.” (Cf. my dissent in Hustedt v. Workers’ Comp. Appeals Bd. (1981) 30 Cal.3d 329, 349-352 [ 178 Cal.Rptr. 801 , 636 P.2d 1139 ].)
